Bus Tours Magazine

Founded in 1979, Bus Tours Magazine is the oldest independent magazine in the industry. We have the most experienced editorial staff and because of the lack of membership limitations our editorials can be in depth and provide what the tour planners need...much like a scouting report. Our magazine is also available for free download online at bustoursmagazine.com. The site also includes Information Station for our advertisers where planners can get information specific to groups.
