Sports Travel & Tours Business

Been a busy week at Sportsnet Holidays. Best bit so far is Phil Anderson (Aussie Cycling Legend) being in the office. One the of the interesting things I have noticed over the years is that with a couple of obvious exceptions few professional cyclists are very tall. Given the stamina and sheer grit involved in the Tour de France , Tour of Spain or Giro I some how always expect them to be as big as AFL Football players.
The team here have been spending time reworking some of our bigger events post the Australian Open and pre Australian F1 Grand Prix. Feb is a big month for football codes. We get the pre season comps; AFL & NRL, A-League Soccer wraps up (its Victory vs Sydney United, which could get ugly) & we have the first of the Super 14 Rugby Union matches.
So in Feb we have to get NRL Grand Final, AFL Travel, Bledisloe Cup tickets & Tour De France Packages sorted out before we get really busy again.

Wallabies Rugby World Cup Match Schedule

The Wallabies draw for the Rugby World Cup in NZ is out for those planning their trip.

The Wallabies draw has been finalized as follows:

Sunday, September 11, 2011: Australia v Italy in Christchurch
Saturday, September 17, 2011: Australia v Ireland in Auckland
Friday, September 23, 2011: Australia v Americas 2 in Wellington
Saturday, October 1, 2011: Australia v Europe 2 in Christchurch

That is a bit of travel between cities. Ireland has to be the pick of the bunch in Auckland, flights will be tough as that is start of school holidays.

Sportsnet Holidays Rugby World Cup Packages will be out shortly we will have official Rugby World Cup Tickets & 3 to 5 star hotels which we will have pre paid as accommodation is going to be tight.

A year after we started work on this event I am finally beginning to feel the buzz.

V8 Supercars Race Calendar 2010

Our V8 Supercars tickets & hotels packages for 2010 have finally taken shape. Sportsnet Holidays have really pumped up the range of V8 races we are offered this year. Traditionally Sportsnet have gone for Bathurst 1000, Clipsal 500, Hidden Valley Darwin & the Townsville 400. Last year we did the Hamilton 400, Gold Coast & Sydney plus a few customised bookings to the Abu Dahbi V8s. This year we have given the V8 Supercars travel packages a bit more grunt.

The 2010 Bathurst V8s have of course gone off & our 2009 Bathurst clients have already booked out over half of our hotels with nine months still to go! Townsville & Darwin are ticking over nicely (this year I WILL go to Townsville), however Clipsal 500 this year has been very quiet for us. Our Clipsal 500 packages are a bit more expensive than others but we have a great driver forum & other inclusions in our package, looks like we might have to re tweak the offer.

Anyway back to the main topic, this is what the starters grid is looking like for Sportsnetholidys.com V8 Supercars calendar in 2010.

Abu Dhabi
Clipsal 500 Adelaide
Desert 400 Bahrain
Falken Tasmania Challenge
Grand Finale Sydney 500
Hamilton 400
Skycity Triple Crown Hidden Valley Darwin
Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000
Surfers Paradise V8
Townsville V8 Supercars


For the full list of 2010 V8 events you can't go past this one on my favourite V8 blog
