Tour Prescott, doing business as Shuttle Prescott, began offering shuttle services to the Prescott airport on Aug. 29.
On that day, the City held a ribbon-cutting celebration at the Prescott Regional Airport (PRC), welcoming commercial jet air service to the region for the first time since the airport’s opening over 90 years ago.
Shuttle Prescott has the exclusive privilege of transporting United Express crew to and from its daily air operations at PRC to one of its partner hotels, the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, which is locally owned and operated by Ponderosa Hotel Management Services in downtown Prescott.
The growing demand for local ground transportation has been met with a great option for private ground transportation to the hotels and locations in downtown Prescott.
Shuttle Prescott currently offers direct and personal one-way trips to and from the airport to the public at very competitive rates. Shuttle Prescott will continue to grow to meet the needs of the community as the airport and region continues to grow, with plans of expanding its fleet to include shuttle buses and additional executive vehicles.
“Tourism in Prescott continues to grow every year. With commercial air service between Prescott and Denver seven days a week and Los Angeles six days a week, services like Tour Prescott and Shuttle Prescott will be an important part of welcoming a growing number of visitors to our destination,” said John Heiney, Community Outreach Manager, City of Prescott.
Founders Chris Campbell and Doug Reed are longtime residents of Prescott with backgrounds in sales, finance and hospitality. With a love of Prescott, the great outdoors and a desire to create memorable experiences that truly bring people together, they enthusiastically launched Tour Prescott on May 7, 2018 during National Travel and Tourism Week.
The response to their concept has been well received in the community. Their vision is to bring an authentic and immersive experience by renewing a sense of adventure that appeals to small groups of locals and tourists alike.
Tour Prescott has incredible support from leadership in the City, county and chamber of commerce. By collaborating with local artists, photo/videographers, musicians, historians and tourism stakeholders during their founding year, Tour Prescott is creating the most authentic tours that truly represent Prescott’s charm through its natural beauty, Wild West history, heritage and culture.
