American Bus Association (ABA)

The American Bus marketplace is the premier business event for the group travel industry. The appointments are the core of the show; which allow buyers and sellers to meet face-to-face in prescheduled seven-minute appointments. In addition to the quality appointments, marketplace offers professional education seminars and numerous networking opportunities. Additionally, the product pavilion, offers operators the opportunity to view the industry's latest products and services. Associate members can now showcase their products and services on the exhibit floor to the more than 320 operator companies who attend marketplace. With the addition of the product pavilion, marketplace is a one-stop shop for the group travel and motorcoach industry to build business relationships, conduct one-to-one business appointments, view the newest products and services, learn about the latest trends and industry information, and network - all resulting in providing our members with a greater return on investment. Buyers who are Bus owners and tour operators, come to meet with sellers who are travel industry representatives from destination marketing organizations (cities, areas, states), attractions, restaurants, receptive operators, hotels and associate service suppliers. These business sessions allow buyers and sellers to plan trip itineraries for motorcoach group travel throughout the us and canada.
