ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROJECT
The Community Support Project is our new initiative, created to help support local community groups and charities, working tirelessly across the areas in which we operate.
This year has been particularly challenging for many people and organisations across Cyprus. Tourist numbers have been affected by conflicts elsewhere, while fuel prices, operating costs and the general cost of living have continued to rise. With households having less disposable income, community groups and charities are also finding it increasingly difficult to raise the funds they need.
These incredible organisations rely heavily on the dedication and generosity of their volunteers, supporters and local communities. We understand how difficult it can be for them to continue their vital work during challenging times.
Through our Community Support Project, we are giving participating groups and charities the opportunity to generate regular donations. By partnering with The Original Red Bus Company, they will receive a €5 donation from every qualifying booking made through their unique link.
The partnership also gives them the opportunity to promote three fabulous, award-winning tours. Every person who books and joins us on board can enjoy a memorable day out while also helping to make a meaningful difference to a deserving local cause.
This is our chance to support the communities that have supported us for over 18 years!
HOW IT WORKS
– The community group or charity registers with the project.
– We provide promotional graphics and posters featuring their unique QR code.
– People scan the QR code to visit our website, where their visit is automatically tracked.
– When they book and join us on one of our three tours, a €5 donation is generated.
– Donations are paid directly to the community group or charity each month.
BRIEF HISTORY
Founded in 2008 by two UK friends who met in Cyprus, together with a Cypriot partner, the company made history by introducing the island’s first open-top tour bus.
After bringing the first open top tour bus to Cyprus, they started the first open top tours, provided the first free Varosha map and produced the first audio guide app for Varosha. The tours have been crafted and developed over the years thanks to the feedback from the wonderful passengers who have jumped on board.
Today, the fleet of red buses are a familiar sight, with thousands of passengers having enjoyed a truly different way to experience Cyprus. The company now offers three established & award winning tours: the Village Tour, Varosha Experience, and Famagusta/Varosha View – each designed to offer an insight into Cyprus’ history, culture, and landscape.
