“The American Bus Association is proud to join the Outdoor Recreation Roundtable to champion outdoor recreation and foster rural economic growth,” said Fred Ferguson, President and CEO of the American Bus Association. “Motorcoach and group tour operators are vital in connecting people to incredible destinations, boosting visitation and driving local economies. By expanding motorcoach and group travel partnerships, we not only enhance access to outdoor experiences but also support sustainable tourism through reduced car trips, efficient transportation and better visitor dispersion during peak times. Together, we can ensure outdoor recreation remains accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for generations to come.”

ORR’s leadership is nonpartisan and focused on economic well-being of the communities that rely on the outdoors, and thus an ideal partner to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation.”
