Competition Travel, a prominent housing company for youth sports travel in North America, has announced a technology partnership with HousingConnect, a leader in the industry. This newly formed multi-year strategic partnership takes effect immediately and will support all events starting in the fall of 2025 and continuing thereafter.
HousingConnect, developed by EventConnect, is the industry’s leading white-labeled event housing solution that provides a simple and instant hotel-blocking experience for teams at the lowest group rates, confirmed daily. Among the vast options, its proprietary technology scrapes the internet to monitor rate integrity, displaying the savings on participants’ booking feeds and instilling confidence and greater transparency.
„As Competition Travel continues to grow and serve its clients, we recognized the need to enhance our event lodging platform to ensure our teams receive the best travel experience and maximize savings. HousingConnect meets both of these objectives,” said Susan Tucker, President of Competition Travel. „Along with their powerful technology, we are confident that the operational and customer support provided by their team will greatly benefit our event producers and participants. Our shared goal is to offer the best properties in ideal proximity to venues, at the lowest possible group rates, utilizing their hotel rate validation feature. At the same time, we aim to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for everyone involved, which is something our industry is demanding.”
„We are excited to start this partnership with Competition Travel, allowing us to enhance our technology and provide exceptional service and support to the cheer and dance community,” said Eric Vardon, President of EventConnect. „Since 2013, we have consistently invested in our products and team to eliminate the traditional challenges associated with group travel. We look forward to empowering Competition Travel and its event producers in delivering even more memorable experiences in their esteemed sports.”
