COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (July 14, 2016) – USA Volleyball is proud to partner with Team Travel Source as the national governing body’s “Official Housing Company for USA Volleyball National Championship Events” for the period of Jan. 1, 2017 through Aug. 31, 2020.
Team Travel Source offers sports tournament organizers, team managers and event planners of all types an innovative free service that provides hotel accommodations for all teams or individuals attending competitions or events. Co-owners Serena Andrews Higdon and April LaFramboise have a combined 40 years of planning experience in a wide variety of sporting events and industries. “USA Volleyball is excited to work with Team Travel Source as its housing company for 2017-2020 for a variety of reasons,” USA Volleyball Senior Director Tom Pingel said. “First, the energy and creativity exhibited by the TTS Team was impressive and will certainly translate into strong customer support. Second, unlike most housing companies, TTS’s leadership comes from the event management world rather than strictly from the hotel side. We’re confident that Team Travel Source will be a great partner with USA Volleyball and our Championship events.” “We are beyond excited to be the new housing partner for USAV! At Team Travel Source, we focus on providing amazing customer service and exceeding the expectations of our partners, the teams, the hotels, the event attendees, and the CVBs and Sports Commissions,” LaFramboise said. “We pride ourselves on having an energetic, ethical, hard-working and customer focused staff whose main priority is to proactively and effectively communicate with everyone involved to make sure 100 percent of their housing needs are taken care of. We are honored and humbled to have been chosen as the new housing company for USAV and look forward to working with everyone associated with this wonderful organization!” About USA Volleyball About Team Travel Source
