UTR Sports is extending its platform beyond performance analytics with a new multi-year collaboration with travel technology company Hotel Planner, adding global travel benefits to its Annual Power Membership. The move reflects a broader shift in racquet sports toward bundled lifestyle and travel services that support increasingly mobile players, coaches, and families.
Under the recently announced agreement, Hotel Planner becomes the Official Accommodations Partner of UTR Sports, while Power Members gain access to Global Privileges Plus — a premium travel benefits package offering discounted rates across more than 1.4 million hotels worldwide, along with hotel or excursion credits, airport lounge access, and savings on car rentals, cruises, and event tickets.
The upgraded membership combines UTR Sports’ established ratings technology, analytics, and player tools with travel savings designed to offset one of the sport’s biggest participation barriers: tournament travel costs. By embedding accommodations and travel perks directly into its subscription model, UTR Sports aims to improve affordability while increasing engagement across its global tennis and pickleball community.
Later this year, UTR Sports plans to introduce additional benefits for athletes competing on the UTR Pro Tennis Tour (PTT), including Global Privileges Premium — a VIP travel package featuring expanded savings, international data roaming, airport lounge access, Global Entry or TSA PreCheck rebates, and fuel vouchers tailored for frequent competitors.
The partnership highlights a growing industry trend in which racquet sports platforms evolve into full-service ecosystems, combining competition, technology, and lifestyle value. As tournament participation continues to globalize, UTR Sports is positioning membership not just as a performance tool, but as an integrated travel and player experience solution.
