ESPN and Orbitz Team to Offer Sports Travel

Now there's a marriage made in heaven. ESPN and major travel booking site Orbitz have teamed to provide ESPN Sports Travel, a travel booking site catering to sports fans. Whether it's hockey, soccer, basketball, or golf, sports buffs can look up schedules and book trips without leaving the ESPN site.

In addition to sports news, schedules, and statistics, the new site offers a sports trip planner, with upcoming dates for all kinds of sports events. To help in researching your planned destination, ESPN has published 16 city guides, with plans in the works for another 34. The guides cover off local stadiums, arenas, golf courses, local sporting events, and more.

The site can be found at ESPN Sports Travel. For hundreds of other city guides and travel planning resources, see WebLens travel tools.
