Ludus Tours and US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation Announce Partnership

Tour Outfitter to Help Bobsled and Skeleton Fans and Sponsors in Vancouver

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) February 5, 2009 -- Bobsled and Skeleton fans heading to Vancouver next February for the Winter Games will now have tour packages available as a result of its newest partnership. The US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation (USBSF) has announced a sponsorship agreement with Ludus Tours. Ludus plans to create packages that cater specifically to US Bobsled and Skeleton fans in Vancouver that will include hotel accommodations, airport transfers, hospitality at the Ludus Lounge/banquet dinner as well as tour guide/concierge assistance during their stay.

"We are excited about our partnership with Ludus Tours as we prepare for Vancouver," said Darrin Steele, CEO at the US Bobsled and Skeleton Federation. "We will now be able to direct our fans and supporters to Ludus with confidence knowing that they will be well taken care of for their hospitality needs."

Ludus offers a variety of hotel accommodations in Downtown Vancouver and is in the process of securing housing in nearby Whistler, the site of the Olympic Bobsled and Skeleton events, Adam Dailey, Ludus' Managing Director, said.

Dailey explained that the relationship began from the introduction to Steele from Valerie Fleming, Turin 2006 Olympic Silver Medalist. "Valerie was one of our favorite athletes to follow in Torino," Dailey said. "We really loved helping her family out with accommodations and we thought it would be great to work with USBSF on a bigger scale this time around."

Athletes will have a chance to get a sneak preview of the Whistler Sliding Center at this month's Whistler World Cup, which will take place from February 5-9, 2009. More information can be found at http://www.whistlerbobsleighskeleton.com.
