Abstract

“Focus Travel & Tourism” piece on the Maine Motorcoach Network, a volunteer collaborative of Maine-based charter bus companies and local and state tourism organizations that organizes familiarization tours (FAMs) of places beyond the coast. FAMs have introduced tour operators to places such as the Bates Mill in Lewiston and Sunday River Resort in summer. MMN’s goal is to bring more motor coach business to Maine and to get people to stay longer. Troy Munford of Sunday River Resort says he has seen a 400% increase in summer business since being featured on MMN’s first FAM trip.
