LTA partners with HotelPlanner

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has partnered with HotelPlanner, naming the travel technology platform its official fan and member accommodation partner.

The collaboration provides the LTA’s 1.9 million members, including players, coaches, and officials, with access to hotel rates for national and international travel.

This includes major events such as the HSBC Championships, Lexus Open Nottingham, and Lexus Open Eastbourne.

The partnership builds on HotelPlanner’s existing relationships with sporting governing bodies. It aims to help the LTA streamline accommodation management, enhance services for its members, and support athletes travelling for competitions.

HotelPlanner is a travel technology platform and hotel booking engine, while the LTA has governed tennis in Britain since 1888.

Chris Pollard, Managing Director of Commercial and Operations at the LTA, said, “HotelPlanner’s expertise will be of huge benefit to British players, their support staff, and our 1.9 million Advantage members, ensuring they will always be able to get the best rates when travelling to play or watch tennis.”

Tim Hentschel, CEO of HotelPlanner, said, “Partnering with the Lawn Tennis Association is an exciting step for HotelPlanner as we continue to expand our support for sports organizations worldwide.

“Our goal is to make travel easier and more affordable for LTA members, whether they’re traveling for local tournaments or international events. We’re proud to be part of the LTA’s continued success.”
