First Class Holidays managing director Daniel Gathercole said: “Sports Tours International are an amazing brand who I have known for some time.
“With people travelling to our core destinations to participate in the six majors and other sporting events, we felt there was a great opportunity to work together so we could offer their clients the complete experience to fully explore our destinations when signing up for these events.
“We can personalise the trip to the clients’ requirements, whether they want a stopover or to twin with another destination or if they are a keen runner, to go onto compete in another marathon in another destination.”
Sports Tours International chief executive Tim Przybysz added: “This collaboration combines our mutual expertise, enabling us to help our
customers achieve their sporting goals while creating unforgettable memories through exploring the fantastic destinations First Class Holidays offer.”
