Dawn Biddiscombe, owner and operator of Premier Plus Travel & Tours, along with her son
\nMatt Colucci, poses next to the company’s large executive-style Mercedes tour van.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY ANDREA PALMER<\/p>\n

The mother-son team of Dawn Biddiscombe
\nand Matthew Colucci are the owners and operators
\nof Premier Plus Travel.<\/p>\n

The Queensbury business uses a large executive style
\nMercedes tour van to get customers to their
\ndestinations.<\/p>\n

“Travel has been my hobby for the last 10 years.
\nI’ve always been the one to organize events for my
\nfriends and family–destination weddings, vacations,
\ngroup travel. I love to travel and I’ve always
\ndone it a few times a year,” said Biddiscombe.<\/p>\n

“What I found with my friends as I have organized
\ntravel for them, is that there are not a lot
\nof options out there for large-group vehicles. You
\nwant to get to the event safely, have a few glasses
\nof wine and have a safe ride home. You also need
\nreliable group transportation to the airport when
\nflying out together. So I started brainstorming,” said
\nBiddiscombe.
\n“I saw a need out there for airport transportation
\nand for group events. It’s so much more practical and
\neconomical to drive one large vehicle, as opposed to
\nfive or six separate vehicles, when you are all driving
\nto the same airport or venue,” she said.<\/p>\n

Tours being developed include New York City
\nshopping trips, casino trips, bachelorette parties,
\nbirthday parties and proms.<\/p>\n

Future plans include adding an additional vehicle
\nto the fleet. The vehicle would be an executive style
\nsimilar to the one the company already uses, the dif-
\nference being the limo-style seating inside; she said.<\/p>\n

Premier Plus is developing transportation options
\nfor both SPAC and the Saratoga Racetrack
\nfor the busy summer seasons. Winter plans in development
\ninclude contracts with Killington, Gore
\nMountain and other ski resorts.<\/p>\n

“We are hoping by next summer to have saturated
\nthe markets we are aiming for,” said Biddiscombe.<\/p>\n

Wedding transportation is also in development.
\nThe Premier Plus vehicle has a similar floor plan
\nas a limousine, but is tall enough for an adult to
\nstand up in. Brides and their bridal parties are able
\nto ride from their lodging to the wedding venue
\nwithout having to cram their dresses into a low-ceilinged
\nlimo.<\/p>\n

“We work with brides on the package they want,
\nat a good price,” said Biddiscombe.<\/p>\n

Colucci is sales manager for the business. Biddiscombe’s
\nhusband helps as needed.<\/p>\n

“We want to fill in weekdays with airport
\ntransportation and Turning Stone packages,” Biddiscombe
\nsaid. “On the weekends, we are focused
\non developing wine tours and other group events.”<\/p>\n

Biddiscombe also works full time as a paralegal
\nfor AngioDynamics.<\/p>\n

“We’ve gotten excellent feedback. People want to
\ndo things and have trustworthy transportation for
\ngroup events. Our intent is to go above and beyond
\nto make the experience really exceptional,” said
\nBiddiscombe.<\/p>\n
