Rugby union club Harlequins has partnered with Destination Sport Travel and sister brand Sportsbreaks.com for its business travel and fan travel offerings.
Travel provider Destination Sport will support Harlequins with its team and business travel as part of a multi-year deal, while Sportsbreaks.com will provide opportunities for supporters through travel packages for select fixtures.
Destination Sport boasts partnerships with the likes of Premier League football clubs Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Scottish Rugby and other domestic rugby clubs.
Sportsbreaks.com is also an official travel agent for the Rugby World Cup 2023, meaning Harlequins supporters will also have the opportunity to purchase packages for the event in France next year.
Steve Morton, Harlequins chief commercial officer, said: “We are extremely pleased to announce the club’s partnership with Destination Sport Travel and Sportsbreaks.com. With increased travel demands within the team’s schedule following the addition of some exciting opposition, we wanted to ensure our supporters had the easiest and most enjoyable away day experience.
“The travel support this partnership will give our performance team as they travel to face some of the best sides from across the world will also be invaluable and we are delighted to welcome Destination Sport Travel to the Harlequins family.”
Destination Sport Travel and Sportsbreaks.com managing director Rob Slawson added: “We’re delighted to welcome Harlequins as our latest rugby club partner. Destination Sport Travel was formed in 2019, initially as Clarity Sports, and since that time we’re really pleased to have built a glowing reputation amongst rugby clubs thanks to our unrivalled service and experienced staff.
“Harlequins will encounter some complex travel requirements this season including their trips to South Africa and France in the European Heineken Champions Cup but we’re well-versed in these destinations and will be there to help them every step of the way.
“Additionally, we look forward to providing opportunities for Quins fans to support their club and country, plus experience a variety of other unmissable sports events via Sportsbreaks.com.”
