Det verdensomspændende samarbejde af busoperatører – Global Passenger Network – har netop afholdt det halvårlige netværksmøde i København med Vikingbus som arrangør. Grækenland blev optaget ved mødet, således at samarbejdet nu består af 25 lande.

Den store danske busoperatør Paaske Bus har siden 2006 gennem Vikingbus været medlem af Global Passenger Network (GPN), der tilbyder adgang til 17.000 busser i USA, Europa og Asien. 

Det betyder, at danske kunder enkelt og effektivt kan leje busser overtalt i verden. Fordelen ved GPN-konceptet er, at kunderne kun behøver én kontakt, hvad enten transportbehovet er Svendborg, Stockholm eller San Francisco. Herudover er korrespondancen på dansk, ligesom faktura vil blive fremsendt i danske kroner. 

GPN-netværket tæller nu medlemmer i 25 lande. Vikingbus var vært for det netop afholdte 9. halvårlige netværks-møde. Det foregik på Marriott Copenhagen fra 3. til 5. marts. På det tre dage lange møde deltog busoperatører fra 18 lande og de kunne samtidig byde Grækenland velkommen som nyt land i netværket.

Målet med netværket er at bringe kvalitetsbevidste busoperatører sammen og i fællesskab udbyde det bedste inden for sikkerhed, service og kvalitet på verdensplan. GPNs medlemmer er eksperter i alle former for busservice – alt fra transfers, events og kongresser til flerdagesture. Det danske medlem Vikingbus er ikke ubekendt med at løse stort transportopgaver. Sidste år var selskabet bl.a. ansvarlig for transporten i forbindelse med IOC-topmødet i København samt World Business Summit on Climate Change, der blev afholdt i Bella Center i maj 2009.

I 2010 udstiller GPN på RDA Trade Fair i Køln fra d. 27. til d. 29. maj og på WTM i London fra d. 8. til d. 11. november. Det næste GPN-møde afholdes i Reykjavik, Island, i november 2010.

About Viking Bus:

We arrange transportation in Denmark and abroad through networks of high-quality coach companies. In addition, we operate the two coach companies Copenhagen Excursions and the family owned Paaske Bus. It all started in 1968 when Paaske Bus was founded by the Paaske family. During the first couple of years the fleet consisted of a few tourist coaches. The company soon expanded, and after two decades the family bought Copenhagen Excursions and increased its fleet, staff and clientele.

In 2006 we were elected Danish member of Global Passenger Network (GPN). GPN is an elite group of international networks representing the most quality-conscious coach companies in the world. Being member of GPN, we are able to provide coach service and travel opportunities for our customers in almost every part of the world.

In 2007 Paaske Bus and Copenhagen Excursions merged and the mother company was named Vikingbus. Since the merger a lot has happened for the once small family owned company located in Copenhagen, Denmark. For example we expanded our national network in 2009 by founding a network of Danish coach companies. Due to this we also provide high-standard transportation all over Denmark.

Simple, you only need one contact when you are looking for worldwide transport – whether it is Svendborg, Stockholm, San Francisco or … you name it.

Our sales department consists of 9 highly motivated and service oriented professionals and an accounting department includes 3 persons.
