Sportive Breaks is marking the next step in its international expansion with a launch in Australia – where the travel firm will also be welcoming an expanded team and event portfolio.
Sports travel specialist Sportive Breaks offers bespoke premium travel packages for cyclists looking to take part in some of the world’s most prestigious tours, cycling classics and weekenders. By launching in Australia, Australian consumers will be able to experience access to a wide range of European cycling events.
Some of the most popular European cycling events offered include spectator experiences at the Giro d’Italia, as well as participation in Haute Route Alps. All activities will be led and managed by a new Australian team of experts, with many decades of experience and to help ensure a personalised level of service.
Recognising travel time considerations from Australia to Europe – both in terms of length and expense – the team will lead with the promotion of a bespoke, ‘from scratch’ travel service. There will also be opportunities for Australian residents to incorporate an event into their ‘European getaway’.
Shannon Stacey, Project Manager at Sportive Breaks Australia said “We are all so excited to launch Sportive Breaks in Australia, and to offer an industry-leading portfolio of cycling packages for an Australian audience.
“Many of the world’s biggest cycling events take place in Europe, which offers obvious logistical challenges for keen cyclists here in Australia – travel comes with much more consideration. This is where our real value lies, in building the most bespoke and seamless travel packages, in the curation of holidays of a lifetime.”
Alex De Waard, Director of Sportive Breaks, added “This is a really significant development for Sportive Breaks, and we are delighted to now be able to offer our events to cyclists in Australia. Shannon and his expert team have unrivalled experience in the industry, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the time we have spent working together so far.
“And there are some exciting announcements to follow in the coming weeks, as the team are set to welcome some new packages for travellers looking for a cycling experience within Australia – watch this space.”
