The Benefits of Creating Coach Tours for Grey Nomads & Seniors

  • July 15, 2021

Domestic senior coach tours have been increasing in popularity over the last couple of years. This increase has been due to the current travel climate, where international travel is near impossible. More and more seniors are taking this opportunity to explore Australia and are opting to do so in groups rather than individually. This means that Kangaroo Bus Lines can provide transport solutions for travel agents, group destination specialists, tour operators and travel advisors.

This demographic is an ideal target market for any travel agency and we would like to be your travel agency’s transport solution.. Seniors have high disposable incomes, make up a large amount of our population and are looking to explore Australia.

High Incomes

In Australia, seniors have been found to have the highest net worth, income increases and household wealth than any other generation. This often means that the over 55s have higher disposable incomes than other generations. 

This demographic are no longer focused on paying off debt and are now spending their money on leisure activities like travelling. With 40% of Australian travellers over 55 planning on spending between 10k-50k per person on travel a year, it makes sense to create a coach tour designed especially for senior travellers. 

Large demographic 

Seniors make up a significant amount of the population in Australia (27.5%) this provides a great opportunity for coach tour companies to target a large demographic of travellers! Many older travellers are interested in trying new things, experiencing Australia, challenging themselves and connecting with people. Creating a coach tour for seniors will allow them to experience a trip that combines their interests like meeting fellow travellers and having new experiences. This means they’ll be more likely to sign up for your senior coach tour!

Flexibility 

Over 55s tend to have more free time than anyone else! Whether they’re retired, semi-retired or have more flexibility in their current roles, seniors tend to have flexibility with their time or in their workplace which increases the amount of time they have to travel! Majority of seniors have begun to increase their domestic travel because there’s still a lot to see in Australia and they have more time. This flexibility means senior travellers will often fill your coach tour spots even during the low seasons.

Take advantage of the current travel climate and start creating domestic senior coach tours by partnering with Kangaroo Bus Lines! This untapped market creates a wealth of opportunity for travel companies especially with domestic touring increasing in popularity among this demographic.

If you’re a tour company looking for a reliable transport service. KBL has a long history of providing exceptional touring experiences in our luxury coaches. Let us help you with your touring logistics and provide transport solutions for your tours of 10 pax or more. Contact the team today.

Feedback from OUR HAPPY PASSENGERS

I just wanted to thank you for all of your help and assistance over the past week. Your flexibility and willingness to adapt the schedule for our demands was instrumental in helping us provide a top service during our event. It was a pleasure to work with you and we wish you all the best on your future service!
Volleyball Australia
The Shuttle Bus service provided at the Aussies21 Championships was fantastic and we received a lot of positive comments from everyone involved. From an operational perspective, the Kangaroo team was exceptional, flexible, and willing to work with us to fulfill any outside scope requests. The level of service delivery was above and beyond.
Surf Life Saving Australia
We’ve found working with Kangaroo Bus Lines to be a very professional service, and communication has been great especially when recognising potential logistical barriers. Through moving to Moreton Daily Stadium for season 2020/21, we’ve built many new relationships with local suppliers in the Moreton Bay Region. KBL are certainly a supplier we’ve enjoyed working with and wish to continue doing so.
Brisbane Roar Football Club, 2021
From the beginning of our working relationship, the staff at Kangaroo Bus Lines went the extra mile to deliver a personalised and professional service. KBL listened to our specific needs and delivered a plan to ensure these needs were not only met, but exceeded. Working with Kangaroo Bus Lines has been a seamless experience and the level of communication from everyone including the managers to the drivers has been exemplary.
Broncos Leagues Club, 2021
We’ve been traveling with Kangaroo Bus Lines for our biennial Instrumental Music tours for many years. This year we traveled to Hervey Bay, and the greater Cooloola Coast area. Our students and staff enjoyed all aspects of our tour. ! Most importantly, our drivers and tour managers were always on call, helpful, flexible and positive throughout the entire experience while dealing with all the complications a large group (90 students) of musicians can entail. Thank you!
Redcliffe State High School
Kangaroo Bus Lines spent a great deal of time with me when we first met, establishing a relationship of trust and commitment. Their staff are tireless in their pursuit of excellence and demonstrate great sensitivity to organisational needs as well as creativity in solving problems.
Queensland Police Service, G20 Group
A big thank you to your company and driver for our recent trip to Bundaberg. Carol was an excellent driver and got on well with the girls and very helpful in helping us set our gear up. We cannot thank her enough. We have used your company twice now and have had no faults and have had very comfortable rides. We look forward to using your company again next year.
Beaudesert & District Netball Association
Andy was excellent and truly is a massive credit to your business. He was absolutely outstanding as a driver and went above and beyond to assist with logistics and camp duties. He blended very well with my group which made the trip enjoyable and easy going for everyone. I regard him as the best operator I have encountered thus far and hope he is available again next year.
