Our Mission
Our Mission is to bring to the Group Travel Services market the ease and convenience of on-line search and booking of Group travel services that individual, business travelers and family units have come to expect from Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, et al. Our Accelaratetm platform is designed to meet the needs of the Group Travel Services market.
Ground Transportation is one of the 'anchor' segments of any Group Travel package - be it for Conventions, Corporate events and outings, Sports events, School outings, School & University Athletics, Family reunions, Weddings, etc. The Group Ground Transportation service is our primary target as part of the Group Travel service package. With the investment we have made in automating the lead-generation, instant pricing and quote generation, and instant booking of Charters, Tours and Trips, what we have delivered is the Motor Coach Industry's first GDS.
Our Mission is to be the on-line voice of the Motor Coach industry. Due to the fragmented nature of the industry - with more than 3,500 operators in the US - and due to the absence of a National or Regional Brand, the industry has not been able to effectively present its collective voice to the Groups and Meetings market. In the absence of the industry being able to project its collective voice to the customers, several 'brokers' - like BusBank, USABusCharter have emerged over the past few years. These 'brokers' have commoditized the services offered by the Motor Coach industry by setting up an auction on behalf of customers and offering them the 'least cost' bids with complete disregard to the quality of service offered by the Operators.
Our Mission is to market the services of the Motor Coach industry directly to the Consumers and various segments of the Groups and Meetings market and eliminate the middleman or the 'broker'. Our white-labeled portals for Motor Coach Operators and for Associations and our branded portals - MyCharterBus, MyTourBus, and MyTripTiks - collectively present the voice of all the Motor Coach Operators and Associations to the Customers interested in Group Ground Transportation services offered by the Motor Coach industry. We work with our customers - individual Motor Coach Operators or Associations - to not only build their on-line presence with their own Web 2.0-based website or portal but also provide a full suite of on-line marketing services - Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Pay-per-click (PPC) Advertising, Social Media/Networking, and Affiliate Marketing - to drive more business to them.
Unlike 'brokers', our mission is to maximize the revenues for Motor Coach Operators by marketing their services directly to the consumers. With our sophisticated portals, we give our Motor Coach Operator customers an opportunity to showcase the quality of their services and offer 'value based pricing' directly to consumers as opposed to 'least cost', service-agnostic offerings by 'brokers'.
