Tournament, Meet & Competition Support

Travel International Sports, (TIS), a California corporation, specializes in sports team travel for major tournaments, competitions, and events. We pride ourselves in providing our clients and business associates with the highest quality of service, professionalism, and integrity. We support our event organizers and the visiting teams in variety of creative ways, as outlined below.

Internet Sports Portal. www.TISworld.com is a major internet sports travel portal, extremely popular with coaches, team managers and event organizers who are looking for team travel arrangements. The TIS site always shows in the Top Ten search engine results for Hawaii sports tours. The site promotes selected tournaments with private pages and digital videos. Because of the popularity of this site, TISworld.com effectively puts these tournaments on the national map.

Private Internet Sites. TIS contributes free internet sites to many of the tournaments it promotes. These sites enhance the individual identity of the tournament and promote its growth. Sample sites: www.AlohaInternationalCup.com www.MauiWaterPolo.com  www.HawaiiCup.com. We provide free web sites to new events as part of the TIS Tournament Support program, including the initial creation of the site and ongoing 24/7 service. Internet sites contain all the services/pages the tournament and teams need, including event highlights, entry forms, tournament results, and more.

Tournament Promotion. We specialize in helping new and existing tournaments, meets, and competitions to become true brand name national events. We use direct mail campaigns, trade shows, regional meetings, flyers, Ads, Emails, and the private internet sites to achieve this goal.

Ready-made Tour Packages. We are one of the few companies in the sports travel business that provide ready-made tour packages to Hawaii. Our travel packages are based on confirmed group accommodations and confirmed group flights from the most popular departure cities. Thus, we can offer inquiring teams instant tour packages and pricing. Our excellent production track record with the major airlines and hotel chains allows us to reserve in advance all the airline seats and hotel rooms the tournament's visiting teams may need.

Best Prices Guarantee. TIS prices are guaranteed to be the best. Sports teams select our tour products with the peace of mind, knowing that their teams get the best value for their travel budget.

Team Leaders Support. We “hold the hands” of the tour leaders, team managers, and coaches from their first contact with us untill they return home from their event. With over 20 years of group tour operations, we have accumulated vast experience on how to run tours and how to teach the tour leaders to effectively manage their team's trip. Our Tour Leader Support pages are extremely useful as a support resource. Tour leaders and team members can now view their invoices & itineraries on line at My Account.

Fundraising Support. Unlike most other sports travel companies we do not charge any fees for our fundraising programs. We contribute, free of charge, major prizes for team raffles. Our fundraising programs can provide up to $500.00 per player towards his/her travel budget. Visit our internet page http://www.tisworld.com/win2.html to view a sample program.

Tournament Director Support. We provide the tournaments we serve with updates on teams’ inquiries, reservations, number of travel participants, as well as arrival flight times and hotel information if needed. We follow up methodically on every inquiry we receive with the ultimate objective of bringing the team to the tournament. TIS provides event organizers with variety of event management tools such as a phone tree massaging system, internet communications with team managers and participants, and more.

Tournament Financial Support. As Official Travel Organization, we support the tournaments based on their specific needs and the size of the event. Contributed funds may be used for any bona fide purpose at the discretion of the tournament committee.

Choose the Best! We strongly believe that the quality of our services and our experience is the most valuable asset of our company. Teams will select our tour packages and services because we always offer the highest quality of service and best prices. Event organizers select TIS because of the excellent reputation the company has earned.
