American Bus Association - Nominations for Top 100 Events In North America

     ABA's Top 100 Events in North America is an annual compendium of the best events for group travel in the United States and Canada. Each spring, a committee of ABA-member motorcoach and tour operators selects the Top 100 Events for the subsequent year; the list is unveiled in September. Winners are chosen from hundreds of celebrations, festivals, fairs, commemorative events, and more that have been nominated by state tourism offices and local and regional CVBs. From among the winners, ABA names the Number One Event for both the United States and Canada.

ABA launched the Top 100 program in 1982 to help motorcoach and tour operators plan itineraries. After the publication of the 2008 Top 100 Events ABA surveyed our operators and asked "Do you use the Top 100 booklet in planning your tours/charters?” . The answer - 70% of the operators who responded said YES!

Now in its 26th year, The Top 100 events receive worldwide attention via the media--television, radio, and print--such as USA Today and CNN. ABA distributes some 10,000 copies of the Top 100 Events in North America magazine, featuring the winners, to all of its members and to thousands of travelers worldwide.

Nominations are officially open for the 2009 Top 100 Events in North America.

New for 2009 Top 100!

• Member CVBs, Private DMOs and Federal DMO can nominate two events instead of one – double your exposure.

• Non-ABA member DMOs can submit one nomination for $100 which is then refunded if you join the association in 2008.

Don't miss out on reaching the operators who can bring your event/festival group business. Contact your local or state destination marketing organization and make certain they nominate your event/festival.

For more information about ABA's Top 100 nomination process, visit the buses.org site. Questions? Check out our Frequency Asked Questions, call ABA at 800-283-2877 or email Top100@buses.org.

The deadline for all nominations is Friday, May 16, 2008.
