Building on the excitement of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, Roadtrips, which provides customized sports travel, is predicting a surge of interest from consumers in attending the biggest spectator sports around the world in 2025.
“Our customers are definitely asking what they should think about doing next with us,” said Dave Guenther, president and founder of Roadtrips, part of Internova Travel Group. “On the ground here in Paris, there is such a strong vibe and level of excitement. Guests are asking questions about future events, like the World Cup, the Monaco Grand Prix and the next Summer Games and Winter Games.”
Inquiries from travel advisors have increased by more than 100 percent since the start of the Summer Games, and Guenther believes that 2025 will be the year when sports travel comes into its own. Upcoming high-profile events include the Super Bowl in New Orleans, LA, February 6-10; the Masters, in Augusta, GA, April 7-13; the Kentucky Derby, in Louisville, KY, May 1-4; the Monaco Grand Prix, in Monte Carlo, Monaco, May 22-26; and Wimbledon, outside London, June 30 to July 13. Looking ahead to 2026, the World Cup will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19 and the Winter Olympic Games will be hosted by Milan and Cortina, Italy, February 5-23.
Travel advisors are reporting "unprecedented" demand for high-end packages centered around major sporting events worldwide. And fans want more than just tickets: they’re eager to combine their passion for sports with personalized itineraries and curated experiences that include accommodations, insider access and a chance to attend exclusive parties, enjoy VIP hospitality and receive luxury amenities.
Roadtrips has been organizing customized sports travel for more than 30 years. The company starts planning for major events years in advance. Prior to a sporting event, Roadtrips representatives visit host cities to scout out hotels, interview local partners and test transportation options, in addition to discovering which restaurants, shops and attractions are worth recommending. Custom-crafted travel packages allow travelers to personalize their trip with luxury accommodations, preferred viewing and hospitality, transportation options and private events, along with plenty of other extras to complete the bucket list itinerary.
All packages come with pre-travel assistance and, at major events, a professional onsite host team is available to take care of guests.
