Gray Line Turns 100 in 2010
This year, worldwide sightseeing tour operator Gray Line Worldwide is turning 100. The company, which is now reportedly the world’s largest provider of tours, activities and attractions, was founded in March 1910 by Louis Bush and Harry J. Dooley when Bush refurbished an old Mack Truck chassis and began offering tours of Washington, D.C. Today, the Denver-based company serves more than 700 different destinations on six continents.
“Gray Line founders Louis Bush and Harry J. Dooley were pioneers in travel and magicians when it came to turning simple ideas into winning business endeavors,” said Brad Weber, president and CEO. “With Mr. Bush’s startup of a motorcoach company back in 1910 and Mr. Dooley’s hard work in the development of the brand, a legacy was born.” www.grayline.com
