West Ham lands travel partner

Travel specialist Ocean Holidays has agreed a deal to become an official travel supplier of English Premier League football club West Ham United.

The three-year agreement covers the 2016-17 to 2018-19 seasons.

As part of the deal, Ocean Holidays, which is based in Romford, east London, will support the club’s travel arrangements for away matches and pre-season tours.

Ocean Holidays will offer West Ham supporters, players and staff exclusive travel packages through the club’s social media channels, website and matchday programme. Packages will also be promoted on the website of the company’s Ocean Florida brand.

In addition, Ocean Florida’s television advertisement will be shown inside West Ham’s London Stadium on match days.

“This is a landmark partnership for Ocean Holidays, one that we are confident will allow us to take the business to the next level,” Ocean Holidays co-chief executive Harry Hastings said. “It is an important part of our company’s ambitious growth plans, which continue to move apace.”

Earlier in the month, West Ham agreed a similar partnership with Florida-based destination marketing organisation Experience Kissimmee.
