Introducing…Forums by Travelsports
Launch of Online Engagement Platform Marks Latest
Step in Company’s Mission to ‘Connect, Inform, Inspire’
CHICAGO, IL—Travelsports.com today announces the launch of its new Forums by Travelsports feature that builds on the website’s standing as the ‘go-to’ destination for athletes and families seeking information and insights on the $42 billion North American travel sports market.
Your Invitation to Connect, Inform, Inspire
Forums will allow participants to engage directly with others involved in youth and adult sports throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe – all while having access to the vast trove of information assembled and curated by Travelsports.
With more than 160,000 tournament, club, and facility listings for sports ranging from hockey and baseball to basketball and volleyball, Travelsports helps users:
- Identify training facilities,
- Research tournaments,
- Contact coaches,
- Locate area sports clubs,
- Plan travel itineraries (research lodging, restaurants, and entertainment options in destination cities),
- Leverage fundraising opportunities to support their club or team,
- And more.
A Better Way to Engage
Forums lets users join conversations that matter most to them – any topic at any time. Comment on existing forums or create your own. It’s an opportunity to share experiences and insights with others on an open platform.
There are no private groups to join; no pages to follow; no more “siloing” of discussions by specific sport; no more echo chamber discussions with few, if any participants.
“As parents of two kids who play organized sports, my wife and I were frustrated by how difficult it was to find useful information and connect with other families to compare notes, ask questions, and share ideas,” explained Travelsports.com founder Christopher Pauly.
“Forums by Travelsports establishes a new online discussion eco-system: one that opens doors, expands horizons, and enhances opportunities for people to engage with others on practically any topic and make the most of their sports experiences,” he added.
Encouraging open discussion of sports-related topics leads to the sharing of some interesting subjects. Examples of topics currently trending on Forums include:
- “Team friendly restaurants in Ann Arbor, Michigan”
- “Best Hockey Movies”
- “Totally Random Review on Baseball Bats”
- “Recommendations for Bigger Car for Carpool and Hockey and Lacrosse Equipment”
