Since 1923, VMA has represented the Commonwealth's motorcoach operators,
travel planners, and trade partners in matters at the state level.
Established in 1923, the Virginia Motorcoach Association represents Virginia's motorcoach operators, travel planners, and trade partners in matters at the state level.
VMA works to promote the motorcoach tour and charter industry and to highlight the achievements of its members and their contributions to the economies of Virginia and North America.
The Association advocates the enactment of just and proper laws regulating the motorcoach industry, and works to protect members from encroachment, discrimination, improper interference, and inequitable taxation.
VMA retains a professional legislative advocate in Richmond to keep the Association informed on pending legislation affecting the bus industry — and to speak for operators when it counts.
VMA promotes safe motorcoach travel through educational speakers at the Annual Convention and VMA-sponsored seminars held throughout the year.
Each year VMA's convention offers educational sessions, a marketplace for professional tour planners and group leaders, and a casual setting for building business relationships.
