Scottish Rugby, the governing body for rugby union in the country, has extended and stepped up its relationship with Thomas Cook Sport, the sports arm of the UK-based travel company, which is now its official travel partner.
Under the renewed agreement, supporter travel and match break packages have been added to the existing team travel partnership entered into by the two parties in 2018.
Thomas Cook Sport will act as Scottish Rugby’s fan partner for the 2019 Summer Tests, 2020 Guinness Six Nations, and beyond.
Toni Blackhurst, Scottish Rugby’s head of group marketing and sponsorship, said: “Extending our team travel partnership to encompass fan travel with Thomas Cook Sport will enable travelling Scotland supporters to not only enjoy what Edinburgh and BT Murrayfield have to offer, but also travel with the team to away fixtures.”
Thomas Cook Sport has been the official travel partner of Scottish rugby team Edinburgh Rugby since 2017.
The company has similar deals across various sports, most notably in soccer with English Premier League soccer clubs Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, and has acted as the official match breaks supplier for the NFL's annual London Games.
