About the Association

A century of service to Virginia's motorcoach industry

Since 1923, VMA has represented the Commonwealth's motorcoach operators, travel planners, and trade partners in matters at the state level.

Who we are

The trade association for Virginia's motorcoach industry

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.
