Group Tour Co-Op

For $1,575 (2010), you can get your message in front of more than 40,000 domestic group tour operators across the nation. The Group Tour Co-op ad, a colorful four-page spread, runs in five national group tour publications. In addition, 4,500 copies of the ad are direct mailed to domestic tour operators from the Tourism database. Each partner is allowed 30 words of copy and a color photo. There is space available for 18 partners on a first-come, first-served basis.

Each year there is a possibility of a price increase depending upon the number of publications in which we purchase advertising space.

Partners must be members of the National Tour Association and/or the American Bus Association.

Credit cards (Visa or MasterCard) are accepted as payment options via the Online Payment System. You must still complete and submit the downloadable registration form (PDF) along with your photo to complete your registration. Payment by credit card without the form and required materials will not ensure your co-op spot. Checks are also accepted as payment and should be submitted with your registration form and photo.

The registration deadline is June 30, 2010.
