Introducing Venatour USA
We are thrilled to announce the merger of US Sports Travel into the Venatour Sports Travel brand, creating Venatour USA!
Venatour has been creating and delivering supporter, school, and sports tours to and from the UK for over a decade. With the acquisition of US Sports Travel, we look forward to expanding our reach into the US market. Recently, our co-founders Alister Strahan and Gareth Chilcott, a former England and British & Irish Lions rugby player, signed a deal for Venatour to be the Official Travel Partner of USA Rugby. This new arm of our business will take the lead in driving this opportunity forward.
Venatour USA will work closely with clients and agents. We will offer supporter packages into the USA for specific sporting events, with a significant emphasis on school and club playing tours in and out of the States. This offering will be strengthened further with plans to open an office Stateside in the immediate future.
Our aim is to combine Venatour’s existing client base and company infrastructure with US Sports Travel’s current supplier relationships and destination knowledge, making us the first brand of its kind in this field.
“Having founded the company over four years ago, being able to join forces with a company I respect and know well is a real privilege and very exciting. We believe it is a fantastic time to cement ourselves as market leaders in the American sports tourism space and look forward to developing our brand where there is a clear requirement for our service.”
US Sports Travel founder James Ellwood
Venatour USA will go live on January 2nd, and we can’t wait to start this exciting journey together!
