WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel booking engine, announced today its partnership with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA.) HotelPlanner will ensure that the RYA’s 100,000 members can source great hotels and great rates in Britain and all over the world.
This extends HotelPlanner’s existing partnerships with sporting governing bodies and will enable the RYA to manage their accommodation needs more profitably and provide a better service to its members and athletes.
In partnership with the RYA, HotelPlanner will provide RYA members with great hotel rates for national and International travel and for the many events that the RYA provides.
The RYA is responsible for one of the UK’s most successful Olympic medal winning sports. Their coaching and development schemes actively support the UK’s top sailors, from talented juniors to Olympic and World Champions. To be the best you require the best night’s sleep and HotelPlanner aims to provide this wherever the RYA members need it.
The RYA believes that everyone deserves the opportunity and encouragement to enjoy being on the water, and to do so in a safe environment. HotelPlanner is proud to support this goal.
Members of the RYA can find great hotels here
