PBA’s Group Travel Marketplace Is for You! 
  • Travel with the experts, a trusted PBA Member Motorcoach Operator!
  • Experience the benefits of group travel firsthand!
  • Group Travel Planners travel with motorcoach companies to exciting destinations, often with exclusive perks like discounted or free trips.

Do you organize trips for a club, organization, business, school, or group of friends? Are you a travel agent, tour operator, or someone who enjoys bringing people together for memorable group travel experiences?

Then the Pennsylvania Bus Association's 2027 Group Travel Marketplace is for YOU!

For years, PBA's Marketplace has connected group travel planners with destinations, attractions, hotels, restaurants, and tourism professionals eager to welcome group business.

Now, we're expanding our invitation to welcome even more people involved in planning and organizing group travel!

PBA coordinates an arrival schedule for PBA Member motorcoach operators, who bring group travel planners looking to find the best new places to explore and share with their groups.

Whether you're an experienced tour planner or just getting started, the Marketplace is a valuable opportunity to discover exciting destinations, attractions, accommodations, and group-friendly experiences while connecting directly with travel suppliers.

We welcome anyone involved in planning or coordinating group travel, including:

  • Motorcoach operators, tour operators, and travel agents
  • Group leaders and travel coordinators
  • Senior centers and active-adult communities
  • Banks and credit unions offering travel programs
  • Chambers of commerce, associations, and member organizations
  • Social clubs and community groups
  • Corporate event and travel planners
  • Schools, alumni associations, and educational organizations

You don't have to call yourself a "group leader" to attend! If you organize group trips, plan excursions, or help bring people together through travel, we'd love to welcome you.  Interested in attending as a group travel planner or buyer?
