How do I get travel agencies to send tour buses to my restaurant?
I’d like to get into the tour buses business with my restaurant, but I really don’t know where to start. My guess is that I need to get in touch with the travel agencies that put together the holiday packages that include meals, and make a deal with them to include my restaurant in the package. What I don’t know, is how to find out what local (Irish) travel agencies put together these packages for foreign tourists?

Search the WWW net for tour operators in Ireland and get in touch with them offering some kind of enticement for their travellers. A free starter, and free coffee. and send a sample menu.

I guess you start by contacting travel agencies and explain why they should use your restaurant.

The way it seems to work is that the agencies ask you to do a good price on the meal for their clients and you usually have to slip the coach driver and the tour guide some money when they bring the coach to you.
Check on the web for coach tours in Ireland. You’ll find quite a few are run by companies in the UK, as well as in Ireland.
Good luck!
