Sports Events 365 showcases B2B partnership portfolio for travel companies at FITUR 2018

Sports Events 365 (https://www.sportsevents365.es/), the provider of tickets for sports and music events worldwide, which actively targets the global travel market, will showcase its proposals for business partnerships with tourism companies at FITUR 2018 (IFEMA, Madrid) event on 17-19 January 2018.

Sports Events 365 is seeking B2B (Business-to-Business) partnerships in the Latin and Iberian tourism industry, following a series of successes and partnerships with networks, travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, and other tourism companies. The B2B partners rely on Sports Events 365 to develop and grow their sports and live events tourism niches. Sports Events 365 offers its partners a wide range of solutions: Commercial tools such as commissions, allocations, and group tickets, as well as Web tools – API/XML, white label, affiliation program, and co-branded sites.

At FITUR 2018 Sports Events 365 will showcase its B2B cooperation network with tens of thousands travel agents who have been exposed to the ticket and technology offering provided by the company. Sports Events 365’s business partners cover decisive majority of tourism niches, including hotel aggregators, such as GoGlobal Travel and Innstant Travel. Other entities include; many travel networks, such as Britain’s Advantage Travel Network, the European network Schmetterling, which incorporates around 3,000 independent agents in Germany and thousands more in other countries. Other entities include Lufthansa City Center (LCC), which incorporates hundreds of travel management companies in Germany and worldwide; travel technology companies; global distribution system (GDS) entities such as Sabre; online travel agencies, such as Expedia; activities sites; destination management companies (DMCs) and other entities across a wide range of travel industry sectors.

Sports Events 365 plans to expand its partnerships to other sectors, for example hotels and hotel chains, that can use its offers of tickets to sports events as part of the hotel package in order to increase occupancy and customer loyalty, and minimize cancellations by potential guests.

“The digital transformation is driving tourism entities into an unprecedented race for new growth engines that will differentiate them from others and attract customers who will remain loyal to the brand or agent,” says Sefi Donner, founder and CEO of Sports Events 365. “Our offering, reliability, and service allow tourism entities to achieve all these objectives in the sports and live events travel sector.”

Donner added, “A tourism agency who says ‘no’ to a customer requesting a ticket to a sports event as part of the agency service, is liable to lose that customer. On the other hand, if the customer obtains satisfactory and successful service that includes a ticket to a sports event – a challenging product in its own right, which is difficult to obtain online – he will not forget the experience that his tourism service vendor provided him. Consequently, tourism entities in Spain and Latin America which partner up with us will be able to grow in a way that will best serve their customers.”
