Founded in October 2021, Destination Sports Experiences is celebrating one-year in business, with a four-fold growth in its team, and the opening of offices in both the US and Australia.
The UK based event and sports travel business is headed up by Managing Director Brendan Fox, who has over 20-year’s experience in the active travel industry. Sitting under the Portman Travel Group, the team offers travel packages for those looking to participate in events around the world, alongside VIP and hospitality experiences.
The offering includes guaranteed event entry with all logistics covered, including on-hand assistance from team members and hotels in premium locations.
Brendan Fox said “Reflecting back on the last 12 months, I feel an immense sense of pride and gratitude. Every single member of our Destination Sport Experiences team has contributed towards our successes, allowing us to drive the brand forward beyond all expectations.”
He continued “Our team’s decades of experience, knowledge, and indeed passion for the industry is unrivalled, and have enabled us to become a market leader in the space of only 12 short months.”
Originally a team of six, the company’s workforce has now quadrupled in size, with the core team working from a Manchester office and continuing to seek new like-minded team members. The team have also opened offices in the US and Australia, with cycling travel brand Sportive Breaks and world leading running brand Marathon Tours & Travel joining the family.
With Marathon Tours & Travel, the expanded Destination Sport Experiences group continues to serve members of the Seven Continents Club… ‘for adventurous runners looking to complete a marathon on each of the seven continents worldwide.’
The expansion with Sportive Breaks means Destination Sport Experiences customers have access to the official fan and amateur participant travel provider for the upcoming 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow and across Scotland.
The international portfolio of events now sees customers traveling to locations such as Antarctica and the Great Wall of China. In the last few weeks alone, the team has… ‘taken thousands of customers to all parts of the globe – including Australia, South Africa, North America, Europe and Patagonia.’
According to the company… ‘This continued growth sees Destination Sport Experiences on track to reach double-digit million figures for turnover in 2023.’
Brendan Fox continued “There’s so many exciting things happening next year, with a host of new updates to our event portfolio.
“2023 sees a line-up of events and trips like no other, with packages available for the Spring Classics, 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships and the Brighton Marathon Festival amongst others. We’re excited to be able to move forward with new events and be able to offer even more incredible experiences for our customers.”
Destination Sport Experiences is ABTA bonded with an ATOL license, as well as offering protection via its COVID-19 guarantee.
