While traveling by train to southern Russia, I always wanted to stop in some places and stay for a while. Later I decided to link my entire life to this desire by starting a business. Today I run a travel agency that organizes trips to the Black Sea and Azov Sea coasts of our country.
Tourists gather in Moscow at a designated place, take their seats, and we set off. But not by train or plane, as these modes of transport simply do not allow us to achieve what we have in mind. My team chose bus rental, because the road lies even to the most remote villages.
As it turned out, tourists who want to spend their time interestingly and usefully are ready to travel from point A to point B for a very long time. Having studied the market, I proposed several popular routes. The bus moves through such well-known places as Yelets, Lipetsk, Liski, Rossosh, Rostov, Krasnodar, and smaller cities.
Each city has its own interesting sights. Traveling by train, it is impossible to see each of them. Bus rental allowed me to build my own route, different from the widely offered ones in many travel agencies. Clients like this, so there are always willing participants.
The destinations are also varied; bus rental makes it possible to stop anywhere. It could be a small but famous resort like Gelendzhik or a small stanitsa on the coast of the Sea of Azov. No transfers, and luggage only needs to be moved from the bus to the hotel or inn.
Currently, there are many people interested in routes to Anapa, Gelendzhik, Novorossiysk, Sochi, etc. Of course, some can be reached by train or plane, but there are travelers who prefer a regular bus. Not only for the opportunity to see more beautiful places, but also as the most affordable means of reaching the desired destination.
This refers to the summer season, when buying train tickets less than 45 days in advance is very difficult. If you cannot decide on the travel date in advance, it becomes impossible to buy tickets at the desired time. And few people can afford to fly by plane today. As a result, traveling with a tourist group by bus becomes the only possible option.
Some are not very happy with this opportunity at the beginning of the trip, but at the end they are ready to endlessly tell their friends on the phone about what they have seen. There are even tourists who have not seen so many interesting things in their entire lives as they did on our trip.
Specially for clients, the list of routes is constantly being updated. And so far I only choose buses for them. True, I do not want to buy buses, because they need to be stored and repaired somewhere. As before, I prefer bus rental over purchase. This meets both our expectations and the expectations of clients, because when renting we choose the newest buses, which I most likely would not have dared to buy.
