tim_dead_horse_SP1

Tim Bannister lost his heart a few years ago, driving a tour bus from Michigan escorting passengers through the Western states.It was just another exit ramp, another stop on the tour that was his way of fulfilling his dream of seeing what was over the next horizon, but it was The Coachella Valley he saw, Palm Springs and all it's beauty. It was love at first sight.

It's an infamous name, tied in celebrity lore to James Caan and "Misery", but our Kathy Bates is everything you would want in a friend. Her strong creative and innovative ideas of branding Celebrity Tours have made her invaluable as public relations and marketing arm of BT West.

A resident of the desert for more than a quarter of a century, Kathy is our face and voice in the tourism and hospitality industry, developing and strengthening our presence as she increases awareness of the variety and class of Celebrities offerings. A quick tour of this website will give but a small sampling of the treats she offers, all of them anything but miserable!
