SportsEngine Partners with Leading Travel Provider, Priceline.com
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 08, 2018 -- SportsEngine, Inc., an NBC Sports Group company, today announced a partnership with Priceline Partner Network, the partnership brand of Priceline.com. The partnership will provide discounted travel and lodging to SportsEngine users, through a SportsEngine specific travel search engine.
The partnership with Priceline.com is part of SportEngine’s ongoing commitment to provide value-added benefits along with its suite of solutions for local youth sports clubs and leagues. The addition of travel and lodging services is in response to the increased interest by competitive youth organizations to accommodate regional travel and overnight stays throughout their sports season. Through the new Priceline.com portal, registered SportsEngine users will gain access to affordable rates on transportation and hotels across the country. This benefit to SportsEngine users also includes any travel not associated with their sports schedule.
“The cost of participating in youth sports continues to rise. By adding travel and lodging costs on top of that, it can be a pretty significant financial burden for families,” said Jenna Soule, Director of Marketing and Communications, SportsEngine. “The new Priceline.com portal will be a go-to benefit for our families to ensure they get the lowest rates on all of their travel needs and is in line with our mission to help simplify the sports lives of youth athletes, parents, coaches and clubs.”
More than 1 million teams, leagues and clubs use SportsEngine to run their website, tournaments, leagues, online registration and mobile apps. Through these applications, sports teams, clubs and leagues are able to drastically reduce the time they spend on administration and communication, allowing them to focus more time on developing their athletes.
“One of our goals is to streamline travel and provide the best deals to all customers within our network,” said Randy Schartner, President, Priceline Partner Network. “Paired with SportsEngine’s desire to seamlessly facilitate the sports lives of all their customers through powerful online tools, the partnership is a win-win for everyone.”
The travel booking portal through Priceline.com will be live in the coming months. At that time, all users of SportsEngine will be able to access the portal for exclusive discounted hotel rates, book hotel blocks for team travel, and more.
