GSWP 71 – Euroteam travel 2009 Water polo tour offer to France and Spain

Dear Sir / Madam

It is with pleasure that I wish to bring the following privately organized water polo tour to your attention.

It is most certainly a luxury item and not within all parents reach but that does not mean that there is no niche for tours as set out below to be offered to those who can afford it. The organizers are professional and well established in the water polo community and have successfully arranged previous water polo tours abroad.

Yours in polo

BONJOUR,I am a NEW ZEALAND rugby coach & ex-water polo player that has lived and coached in FRANCE for several years.

I have recently settled in DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA where I currently work with rugby & water polo.I run a sports & cultural travel business, with my wife, which focuses on SCHOOL TOURS to FRANCE, ITALY, SPAIN, & NEW ZEALAND.

Our core sports tours included RUGBY, CRICKET, HOCKEY, SWIMMING & WATER POLO. We have been operating for over 15 years and have built up a strong, loyal base of clients (friends) along the way. Because we are a family run business, our over heads are low. This enables us to provide cost effective prices to our clients, while still maintaining our personal “HANDS ON”, no-frills, approach. Many of the UK, SA & NZ based tour operator’s use us for their touring clients, but ideally we prefer to work directly with the schools.Our “forte” is our intimate knowledge of SPORTS, especially in FRANCE where the language and cultural differences can be an issue.

We pride ourselves on arranging balanced and evenly matched FIXTURES. We probably wouldn’t exist bar for this fact. The majority of our clients are traveling school teams. Over the years we have established a reliable network of host clubs in FRANCE, ITALY and NEW ZEALAND that have been introduced to hosting & billeting visiting teams from a far.FRANCE is an amazing destination for touring water polo teams, offering state of the art facilities, along with the usual warm and generous French hospitality.

There is no school water polo system in FRANCE; the clubs take care of all the age group competitions and promotion of the sport.We have sent several French water polo clubs to various tournaments in NEW ZEALAND, notably the PANPAX tournament which attract the best New Zealand & Australian, overseas teams. It is held every second year.Our itineraries are unique and our traveling clients benefit from our good reputation with the locals.

CULTURAL tours also benefit from our time spent living in FRANCE, ITALY & SPAIN.If you are planning a tour to EUROPE or NEW ZEALAND then please let us have look at putting it together with you. I look forward to hearing back from you.A BIENTOTRalph CrumpBelow is a 10 night water polo itinerary and costing for Biarritz, Bordeaux and Paris
