The Coach Tourism Council, founded in 1988, actively promotes the benefits of travel by coach on behalf of about 140 UK coach operators. A key element of our work is an on-going public relations campaign designed to promote the positive element of coach tourism in the national and regional consumer media through press activity and media trips.
For their part, our 140 industry suppliers recognise the importance of
looking after coach companies that carry more than eight million people on their coaches each year. That is why Tourist Offices, leading hotel groups and ferry operators, major attractions and destinations, as well as a variety of professional advisers – work with us in promoting travel and
tourism by coach.
