WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel booking engine, today announced a service provider partnership with the World Nineball Tour, the world’s first professional, commercial pool tour. HotelPlanner will launch this partnership by offering discounted hotel solutions for all Matchroom Major WNT events in 2024.
The World Nineball Tour operates under Matchroom Multi Sport, one of the world’s leading promotional and sports programming broadcasters, providing more than 1,000 hours of live, televised pool across the Matchroom Majors in 2024. Multi Sport produces and promotes events across an array of sports, including Pool, Snooker, Fishing, Netball and Gymnastics.
HotelPlanner and Matchroom Multi Sport will focus their initial partnership on the World Nineball Tour, a professional billiards tour with more than 30 annual events across five continents, including the Matchroom Majors, Matchroom Invitationals and the World Pool Championship. The World Nineball Tour provides a unique commercial platform for professional pool players, similar to partner’s World Snooker Tour Ltd. and the Professional Darts Corporation, which have both awarded millions in prize money.

Through our new partnership with HotelPlanner, discounted hotel solutions is an incredible value add to our athletes, their families, and fans,” says Emily Frazer, CEO, Matchroom Multi Sport. “We look forward to growing this partnership in the years ahead.”
