Sunshine Tours in Dublin Shuts Down

Sunshine Tours announced it is shutting down immediately, citing rising fuel, lodging and overall trip expenses, as well as declining passenger numbers. Their service has been well-known in southwestern Virginia for 45 years.

Dear Sunshine Traveler,

First thank you for your business and support of our company, we have taken pride in providing quality motorcoach tours for 45 years, and without the support of customers like you, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we love doing.

We understand this post may come as a shock, After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close our business effective immediately. There were several factors that led to this outcome, but the biggest contributing issues were the rising cost of fuel, lodging, and overall tour expenses, along with the decline in passenger counts. We understand as a “Luxury” and non-essential business, travel is often one of the first expenses people cut back on when budgets tighten. Please know we are devastated by this decision.

We also understand that you have paid your deposits or balances for an upcoming tour and that you are owed a refund.

At this time, we are working with legal counsel to determine the best course of action for everyone affected. Refunds for all tours will be processed based on the decisions of legal counsel during this process. Please note this will not be an overnight process, and we do not yet have a timeline for when refunds will be issued.

If you have any questions, please call our message line at 540-674-9517 or 800-552-0022. You may also email sunshinetours1982@gmail.com. We will respond as soon as possible.

Again, thank you for the dedication you have shown our business and for the memories we have created together over the years.

Thank you,

Sunshine Tours, Inc.
