Las Vegas, NV, July 15, 2007 - Las Vegas-based Bates International Motor Home Rental Systems, Inc., a leading provider of recreational vehicle (RV) rentals and revenue sharing opportunities, has been ranked one of the 500 top franchises in the United States by Entrepreneur Magazine for 2007, and the company has been published on Entrepreneur Magazine‘s Franchise 500 list. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, the Franchise list is the 28th annual and “world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking.”
“Bates is honored to be recognized as one of the top 500 U.S. franchises by Entrepreneur, one of the nation’s leading business monthly magazines,” says Sandra Bate, president and CEO of Bates International Motor Home Rental Systems, Inc.
The Bates brand is recognized internationally as the first RV franchise company in the world. Since 1973, Bates has extended quality service through its headquarters in Las Vegas and its network of franchise locations in selected cities in the United States and Canada.
“Bates International provides franchise owners with an industry leading-franchise development and support system that offers highly effective sales and marketing programs, business planning, classroom training and on-going support,” says Bate. “The Bates system connects our franchisees to a select group of entrepreneurs, travel agencies, tour operators and airlines.”
RV rentals are one of the largest growing segments of the travel/tourism industry and often the first step toward the purchase of an RV, providing potential buyers the opportunity to “try before they buy.” Bates is widely recognized for its variety of motor homes, from plush Class “A” Diesel pushers to small Class “C” “cab over” styles.
Bates is the first major rental firm to initiate “Revenue Sharing” with customers through its RV Rental Management Program, which allows RVers to place their new motor homes into the Bates fleet and generate income and tax benefits.
Bates is a member of the International Franchise Association (IFA). The company is listed in Travel Planners, and is a member of the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association, the GoRVing Campaign, the Las Vegas Film Industry and the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce.
