• FLEET SIZE – One 30 Passenger Temsa
Western Pleasure Tours is based out of the Boise area and is a new start up this year . We offer receptive services to the West , Pacific Northwest and the Western National Parks . In addition to working with tour operators and group leaders Western Pleasure Tours is offering retail tours from the Boise area . Tish is currently working on day trips and 1 – 4-night regional tours for residents in the greater Boise area .
Tish started her career in tourism almost 30 years ago in the hotel industry . Tish worked her way up in sales from a single property to a regional director position and all the way to the national level as a National Director of Tour and Travel for 3 different nationwide hotel chains . “ After working with tour operators for almost 15 years I decided to make the switch and went to work for a large student tour company . I learned a lot about the other side of the industry in those first 5 years !“
After working for another 10 years with another student tour operator and a wholesale tour operator we come to 2020 and the challenges with that . Tish and her husband Scott sold their farm in Western Washington State and moved to Boise to be closer to Scotts parents . And being furloughed like so many Tish decided to start Western Pleasure Tours . And when the opportunity came along to buy a motorcoach , they jumped on it . “ My husband was looking to sell his other business of 17 years , and we knew right away that driving the new motorcoach on our tours would be a perfect fit .”
So , we are looking forward to this spring when tours will slowly start to run . Tish is working on a calendar full of tours to showcase Idaho and add in the surrounding states not only to residents here , but to groups from all over the country .
“ There is so much here in Idaho to offer , between the stunning scenery , mountains , high desert and farmlands we have wonderful museums , attractions , wineries and history galore ! So , designing itineraries within Idaho and adding Idaho to bucket list spots like Yellowstone National Park are a top priority for me . I love Idaho and this will be my home for a long , long time ! Come and see us !!”
