Join Women in Buses as we welcome the Bus Industry Safety Council (BISC) for an open cross-council conversation about the role safety plays across our industry.

In this session, BISC will share what the council does, why safety culture matters beyond the safety manager role, and how professionals across all sectors can get involved and benefit from membership. Whether you're new to the industry or a seasoned veteran, this is your opportunity to connect, collaborate, and discover why safety truly is everyone's business.

New research. New numbers. A powerful story about motorcoach travel's impact in Canada. 🇨🇦🚌

The latest research from the American Bus Association Foundation, conducted by Tourism Economics, shows that motorcoach travel generated:

• $2.3 billion in direct spending
• $4.4 billion in total economic impact
• Nearly 25,000 jobs supported
• $980 million in tax revenue

The numbers reinforce what our industry sees every day: motorcoach travel connects people and places while supporting jobs, businesses, destinations, and communities across Canada.

Canada is essential to the future of bus and group travel in North America. Now we have new data to help tell that story.

Thanks to Tourism Economics, OMCA, and Motor Coach Canada for the joint support in getting this research ready and out where it needs to be told.

A bigger marketing budget isn’t always the answer. A smarter strategy can be.

In her latest guest column for ABA, Travel Alliance Partnership's Sara Imes explores practical ways tour operators can think differently about marketing, extend their reach, and get more from the resources they already have.
