Sports Pro Travel and Sports Entertainment Tours Renew Giants Partnerships

Under the agreement, Sports Pro Travel will again handle the travel logistics behind the Belfast Giants' fixture list, covering everything from flights and ground transport to accommodation, as the reigning back-to-back champions push for a third Motorpoint Elite Ice Hockey League title in a row.

The two organisations have now worked together for four full seasons, a run that Sports Pro Travel says reflects how embedded it has become in the day-to-day running of the club's travel needs.

Sports Pro Travel's client roster extends well beyond ice hockey. The company also looks after travel for the Ireland hockey, cricket and rowing teams, and the Nottingham Panthers, to name a few.

Steve Thornton, Sports Director at The Odyssey Trust, said: “We’re proud to welcome Sports Pro Travel back as the club’s official travel partner. Travel is a hugely important part of what we do throughout the season, and having an experienced and trusted partner alongside us makes a real difference to the team. Sports Pro Travel understands the demands of professional sport and the importance of ensuring our players and staff can focus on performing at their best.

“Sports Pro Travel understand the demands of professional sport and the importance of making sure our players and staff can focus on performing at their best. We’re really pleased to continue our relationship and look forward to working closely with the team at Sports Pro Travel throughout the season.”

Additionally, Sports Entertainment Tours, Sports Pro Travel's sister company and the leading provider of travel and hospitality across all sports and entertainment experiences, has agreed to remain a sponsor of the Belfast Giants for the coming season.

The renewed sponsorship sits alongside Sports Entertainment Tours' existing work with Belfast Giants’ supporters, for whom it builds dedicated travel packages and hospitality experiences around away games and other fixtures.

John Boyde, Managing Director of Sports Pro Travel and Sports Entertainment Tours, commented: "Sponsoring the Belfast Giants means something different to us than the Belfast Giants team travel. As a Belfast-born business, we take real pride in what the Belfast Giants have achieved and what they mean to this city. We're sports enthusiasts ourselves, and standing behind a team bringing this level of success and pride to Belfast is something we're genuinely proud to be part of for another season."
