HotelPlanner Sponsors Clipper Round the World Yacht Race

HotelPlanner.com, the leading online provider of group and individual hotel reservation services, will make its global ocean-racing debut as a Team Partner in the Clipper 2017-18 Round the World Yacht Race, which will start from Liverpool, UK, on Sunday, 20 August, 2017.

The HotelPlanner.com yacht will be one of twelve teams participating in the eleventh edition of the unique 40,000 nautical mile Clipper Race, an eleven-month voyage with exposure across six continents. As a global company with offices across the US, UK, and Hong Kong, HotelPlanner.com is excited to take advantage of this unique opportunity to engage with customers in key markets across the globe.

Founded in 1995 by legendary sailor Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, the first person to sail solo non-stop around the globe, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is an extraordinary opportunity for everyday people to follow his experiences. Over the past twenty years, almost 5,000 non-professional crew, many with no previous sailing experience, have been turned into ocean racers through the Clipper Race. Over 710 people, from all walks of life and representing more than 40 different nationalities, will compete in what is undoubtedly the world’s greatest ocean adventure.
