Welcome to the Coach Tourism Council (CTC) website. National, regional and family-run companies are among nearly 150 coach tour operator members of the Coach Tourism Council, which was set up 23 years ago to promote travel and tourism by coach. They work closely with another 150 companies and organisations who are also members. They include national and regional Tourist Offices, attractions and destinations, hotels, tour wholesalers, ferry and fixed link operators, ports, ticket agencies and professional advisers. Coach tourism is one of the UK’s biggest travel sectors. Around nine million people take a coach tour each year while in the UK, coaches contribute £2.35 billion to the UK economy. CTC members play a major role in meeting the increasing demand for day excursions, short breaks and holidays by coach which offer unbeatable value for money.

COACH TOURISM ASSOCIATION AGM & NETWORKING EVENT: 27-28 MAY 2012 BIRMINGHAM The AGM has become an increasingly important and popular event in the CTC calendar and we are very grateful to Menzies Hotels for hosting this year’s meeting, industry seminar and networking event at their 4-star Strathallan Hotel in Edgbaston, Birmingham over 27 and 28 May. This year’s AGM is the first under the Coach Tourism Association Limited banner. As usual it will be preceded by an optional FAM trip on Sunday afternoon 27 May as guests of West Midland Safari Park and an evening networking event with dinner and overnight accommodation as guests of Menzies Hotels (FOC for operators and wholesalers, £60pp for suppliers). Attendance at the AGM is of course FOC for all paid up members. The AGM will include a review of the past year and how the CTC will be moving forward over the next 12 months. Following the formal business session, Vanessa Markey of Tourism Ireland has kindly arranged for a presentation on brand marketing by the award winning creative agency Publicis, who in addition to promoting Ireland are behind the famous Renault TV ads. In addition we will be previewing plans for a new member benefit, the first ever consumer video to promote coach tourism, while Pellys will give an update on the latest coach transport legislation.
