Dear Members,
We are excited to announce that PBA is going to do a District Lobby Event with local House members and Senators this year, during the week of April 22-26.
The goal of this week is to highlight your operations and the impact you have on your local community and the Commonwealth.
As you know, tourism is a huge industry in Pennsylvania, and your motorcoach operations play a major role in helping the tourism industry thrive.
We know that every motorcoach on the road takes cars off the road, which also helps with the congested highways we travel.
What is the Effect of Each Motorcoach Visit in Pennsylvania?*
- Approximately 32 equivalent visitors, of which 68.84 percent were on day trips and 31.16 on overnight visits.
- Approximately $6,939 in local sales.
- Approximately 4 room nights (double occupancy).
- For every motorcoach trip, 0.13 job is created in the state
In order to help promote our industry and educate your legislators, we would encourage you to pick up the phone and call your local House of Representatives’ member and your State Senator.
If you aren’t sure who they are, please click the button below to find your legislator.
