Bus trips are hot right now. People don't want to fly. You know it, your audience knows it, and your timeline is full of proof.

But here's what most travel agents are getting wrong: they're planning trips instead of running a business. They're pricing based on feelings. They're skipping terms and conditions. They're using whatever motor coach company Google spit out. And then they wonder why their bus is half-empty two weeks before departure.

This masterclass replay is the fix.

Who's Teaching

Shanteria Early built Travel Divas, an 8-figure travel agency, starting with bus trips out of Atlanta in 2007. She was in the Kroger parking lot on Saturday mornings putting flyers on cars. By the time she was done with bus trips, she was running 11 motor coaches at once from Atlanta to New Orleans. Mardi Gras turnaround trips. Essence Festival trips. Falcons trips to Charlotte, Tampa, and New Orleans.

This isn't a "here's what I read about bus trips" masterclass. This is the person who literally built her entire business on them teaching you exactly how she did it.

What's Inside (2 Hours of Recorded Training)

Part 1: Planning and Pricing

  • Why your first bus trip should be a day trip (not a weekend, not a 15-day Route 66)

  • The 15+ trip ideas she walks you through: casino days, wine tours, beach days, HBCU homecomings, Broadway trips, sports trips, food tours, and more

  • Fixed costs vs. variable costs, explained so you stop guessing

  • The exact pricing formula: how to price at 70% capacity with a minimum 20% profit markup (this is the number most agents get wrong and why their trips don't make money)

  • Why she only uses 56-passenger motor coaches and when to break that rule

Part 2: Protection and Contracts

  • Terms and conditions: what has to be on your website before you sell another seat

  • Liability waivers: the difference between being a "motor coach company" and a "tour organizer" (this distinction could save your business)

  • How to vet a motor coach company: USDOT number requirements, $5M insurance minimums, the safety checklist most agents skip

  • Hotel group contracts and how to negotiate them without getting hustled

Part 3: Marketing and Selling Out

  • Why "people don't want to fly" is your entire marketing message right now

  • How to find your tribe and fill a bus without running paid ads

  • The Facebook event strategy she used to sell out trips

  • Early bird, regular, and last-minute pricing tiers that create urgency

  • How to stop "selling trips" and start selling experiences (this is the mindset shift)

Part 4: Live Q&A Real agents asking real questions. Pricing problems, marketing struggles, audience issues, "my trip isn't selling" panic. Shanteria answers every one.

Who This Is For

  • Travel agents who want to add bus trips as a steady revenue stream

  • Agents who've launched a bus trip but it's not selling

  • Agents who are running trips but not making real profit

  • Anyone who wants to start a travel business with the lowest-barrier-to-entry trip type

  • Experienced agents who want to go back to basics and fix what's broken

Who This Is NOT For

  • Anyone who isn't willing to do the math on their trips

  • Anyone looking for a "get rich quick" shortcut

  • Anyone not ready to hear the truth about why their trips aren't filling

I just bought it on Monday after watching the replay of the masterclass, I was confident enough following her blueprint, to get started with my tour business. Its definitely worth the investment!!! Thank you

The Masterclass was very informative especially the part on how to figure up the cost you would charge per person. I was skipping a step in my pricing and not making much profit. I will defiantly review it again to much sure i am doing it right. Thank you for showing me the correct way.

I really love the vibe of the Travel Gang and the knowledge that is always dropped. I have been contemplating doing a bus trip for a minute, but could not figure how it would be profitable, and if I am keeping it 100, enjoyable. The masterclass was so informative and broken down to the most common denominator that even a novice will be able to understand and implement. Once again, I thank you!

I hope this is accepted with the good intentions it was meant. I'm not someone who will typically comment or post or even say anything unless I can find a way to be uplifting to someone. Firstly, with the templates I purchased, I like them and feel they were very helpful. Thank you for those. I think Shanterria obviously has a wealth of knowledge and experience behind her and I'm grateful she is using this platform to share this with others. However, I purchased the Masterclass Replay and was honestly, very disappointed. I feel like Shanterria had a lot to say (which is a good thing) but I feel it could have been done in a much more, concise, professional manner to reach her audience who had purchased this. I feel it mostly dragged on into overtime hours of 3+ hours because it was filled with reprimanding those she's apparently trying to work with in her workshop(?)who are not necessarily the folks who signed up for the Masterclass Replay. And she did apologize to everyone a few times, in a very endearing way. But I felt like I was intruding by sitting in on this recorded video and gleaned very little information; at least much less information than I had anticipated. I actually (disappointingly) walked away from it feeling I had wasted my money. And I don't like saying that. But I'm hopeful, this will help with any training purposes or perhaps help future courses when remembering who your target audience is for that particular course and staying on topic. And I think Shanterria has so much to share with others, it could have been condensed into a 1-2 hour webinar that cost a lot less(!) but was direct and concise. And with that said, I did enjoy getting to know her personality a little and can see why her travel tribe is lovingly loyal to her. She does have a gift to share and I hope she continues to share it with others. I probably won't join in any webinars but I may continue to look at the library of print resources as I do love to support other women-owned businesses. God bless, Judy

This is a great training for people just starting out or even for people like me who are looking to do things a little differently. I loved her teaching style; she’s very direct into the point and that works great for me. This is definitely a training worth the money.

I have been a Travel Agent for over 25 years but it has been like a hobby. I worked full time and did this on the side. It worked well for me then in 2023 after 35 years of working my job (department) was eliminated. So I thought I can go full time as a Travel Agent but marketing is my biggest issue. I love hearing the re-play and looking forward to getting out to the way of myself and do what I'm suppose to do with marketing my trips. God is good, he's been keeping me and family. Thank you Shanterria for inspiring me.

I’ve only been here half a week and already getting some valuable tools, and that was all free. I did take one class and I paid for it was not bad price and it was very valuable. That one talked about how to price out a day trip correctly to make money. I’ve done enough day trips in the past to know that it would’ve solve some problems that I had in the past, I would highly recommend anybody that wants to do day trips take her course. Her videos are not short. They are very extensive but not expensive.
