Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

Dear ABA Members and Colleagues,

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Grapevine in a few days.

I have heard from many of you over the past few weeks and I’m hearing a lot of excitement about getting back to business and that Marketplace will be a kickoff of the 2022 and 2023 planning cycle for many of our members.

At the same time, I understand there has also been some anxiety over the surge in the Omicron virus around the country.

ABA wants to assure you that your safety and health is our number one priority. Because of that, we have put into place a number of protocols to help keep our attendees as safe as possible while we get our industry up and running again.

I want to remind you that we will not allow anyone to enter Marketplace who hasn't either produced a vaccine card in advance of arrival or provided a negative COVID test within 72 hours prior to arriving. There are two easy ways to verify your vaccination or your test prior to arrival: text “Hi” to 877-398-1065 or scan the QR code here.

We will have rapid testing available to all attendees onsite. The cost for the onsite tests are: PCR test is $95 and the rapid test is $40.

We are requiring all attendees to wear masks while indoors at all times except when actively eating and drinking.

We ask that any attendee who is feeling under the weather to not come to Marketplace and send someone else in their place.

You can read more of our health and safety protocols here.

We look forward to seeing you at Marketplace and getting our industry up and running again so we can see more recovery in 2022 and beyond.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at any time.

 

Regards,

Peter Pantuso
