CEDAR RAPIDS Every days an adventure, Doug Decker said of business at Cedar Valley World Travel, which he co-owns with wife Angela Decker. <\/p>\n
The Cedar Rapids-based motor coach charter and tour company has been running since January 2007 when it spun off from Tri State Travel, Angelas familys longtime business. <\/p>\n
Cedar Valley World Travel provides charter transportation services locally or to destinations throughout the continental United States and Canada. The companys fleet of vehicles ranges from five-passenger Sports Utility Vehicles to a 14-passenger van to 54- and 56-passenger deluxe motor coaches. <\/p>\n
Thats one thing we offer that our competitors dont multi-size vehicles to accommodate different size groups, Doug Decker said. <\/p>\n
They use their fleet to try to attract a range of clients with different transportation needs, from church and school groups going on multiday, cross-country trips to corporate clients and athletic teams seeking local airport transfers. <\/p>\n
While roughly 60 to 70 percent of its revenue comes from motor coach charters, Cedar Valley World Travel also sells individual and group tour packages, including both planned trips for the public and organized tours for private groups and organizations. <\/p>\n
The majority of what we do is home-in-a-day, Angela Decker said. <\/p>\n
Destinations may include shopping trips to Chicago or the Mall of America, baseball games at nearby major league stadiums or tourist attractions such as Galena or the Pella Tulip Festival. <\/p>\n
