PBA continues to direct considerable time, effort, and resources to the promotion of travel and tourism both on an intrastate and interstate basis.  Each spring, the Association conducts a travel marketplace whereby a broad range of destinations, hotels, attractions and travel promotion agencies are featured in an exposition setting.  While this scenario affords an opportunity for bus operators and their tour and charter personnel to establish contacts with destination representatives, the basic purpose of the PBA Marketplace is to bring group leaders or end customers in contact with representatives of the travel-hospitality industry.    More importantly, it has become a proven business stimulant for both PBA Operators and our Supplier Members who participate.
