Prevost announces Holiday Tours completed its 100th Prevost purchase

Prevost has announced Holiday Tours, based in Randleman, N.C., received its 100th Prevost motorcoach, with the delivery of five new Prevost H3-45.

Holiday Tours purchased its first Prevost coach in 1982 and the first H3-45 in 1991.  Today, the company has a fleet of 79 coaches, the vast majority of which are Prevost, serving more than 50,000 passengers annually, according to the company.

The delivery of the 100th coach was marked by a visit to Holiday Tours by Prevost Sales Vice President Jack Forbes who presented Holiday Tours General Manager David Moody with a special award. Forbes spoke to a small gathering of employees about the importance of the relationship.

“Prevost is deeply grateful for your business and for our affiliation over the years. We have thoroughly enjoyed watching how Holiday Tours has matured and grown as a company as you have showcased Prevost in your fleet as your motorcoach of choice,” said Forbes.

 Moody added, “We are so appreciative of our relationship with Prevost. It’s not just a normal vendor/customer association – it truly is a partnership.”
