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.

Spring into action
September always heralds a period of madness in the sports travel business as it means we literally spring into action and it rarely pauses until after the Australian F1 Grand Prix in late summer.
September means footy finals and we have huge numbers for the AFL Grand Final packages and NRL Grand Final packages. There are a few late nights coming up with last minute bookings as fans realize their team is going to get there and as we assemble hundreds of travel packs with grand final tickets, hotels documents and various other goodies while organizing our Sportsnet functions and speakers.
As that one day in September (or early October) passed for both codes there is no time to take a breather as hard on the heels of footy is the Philip Island Moto GP event and the Bathurst V8 races. Both events have something challenging in common for a sports travel company. They are in the country; there is limited accommodation and huge demand. We had booked out most of our top flight accommodation in and around both events months ago. No matter how hard you want to please the fans, at this time of year you are either staying up in Melbourne and transferring down to the track or looking at dorm accommodation around Bathurst for the Mount Panorama races. That all said it never seems to distract the fans from the enjoying what they really came for the sights, sounds and smell of motor sports.
