Rugby union fans will be looking to travel to New Zealand for the World Cup
With key games yet to be played in this year’s Six Nations tournament, rugby fans have another big date on their horizon: The 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
England Rugby Travel, official travel company for the rugby union, is the first UK-based official travel agent to launch supporter travel packages which include flights, accommodation and match tickets.
The tournament, kicking off on September 9 when New Zealand’s All Blacks face Tonga, features 13 match venues throughout the country.
Around 85,000 spectators are expected to book holidays for the event – around 30 per cent of them from the UK and Ireland.
Supporters can secure their place online now – at englandrugbytravel.com – with an easy and accessible booking and payment service for packages starting at £1,849 per person, which includes return flights, and match tickets for England’s last two pool matches, and the availability of a motorhome as an optional extra.
