SPORTS TOURS INTERNATIONAL & FIRST CLASS HOLIDAYS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

Sports Tours International have partnered with Long Haul tailor-made Tour Operator, First Class Holidays to provide their customers with access to tailormade holidays for those marathon runners who wish to extend their stay on some of their key running holidays. Established over 50 years ago, Sports Tours International have been taking runners and cyclists to mass participation events around the world including the Abbott World Marathon Majors in Tokyo, Boston, Chicago, New York, Berlin, and London. 

Itineraries for those wanting to extend their stay in the respective destinations when travelling overseas to complete their marathon challenges. In August 2024, along with launching their new Japan brochure, First Class Holidays will work together with Sports Tours International to personalise their clients’ trips around the Tokyo 2025 Marathon and future events in 2025 with an extension package.

Daniel Gathercole, Managing Director at First Class Holidays mentioned, ‘Sports Tours International are an amazing brand who I have known for some time. With people travelling to our core destinations to participate in the Six Majors and other sporting events we felt there was a great opportunity here to work together so we could offer their clients the complete experience to fully explore our destinations when signing up for these events”

“We can personalise the trip to the clients’ requirements, whether they want a stopover or to twin with another destination or if they are a keen runner, to go onto compete in another marathon in another destination. Whatever the client wants, will be able to cater for it and as always, with exceptional service levels”.

Tim Przybysz, CEO, Sports Tours International, stated, ‘We are excited to announce our partnership with First Class Holidays. This collaboration combines our mutual expertise, enabling us to help our customers achieve their sporting goals while creating unforgettable memories through exploring the fantastic destinations First Class Holidays offer.”

First Class Holidays’ new 100-page Japan brochure will be available to download in the next few weeks and will feature inspirational itineraries from guided tours, independent tours and cruising to a wide range of hotels and sightseeing experiences in Japan.
