Centurion, 31 August 2022 – Building on an existing long-term deal, Tennis South Africa has announced a two-year extension of its successful partnership with Southern Africa’s leading hospitality group, Southern Sun.
Having become the official hotel partner of TSA for national tennis teams and events in 2019, Southern Sun will continue to provide accommodation and conferencing facilities to the local tennis community, as well as visiting players, coaches, and officials.
The extension of the partnership, which will be implemented with immediate effect, includes accommodation, access to meeting facilities around the country and preferential hotel rates for registered TSA members and coaches.
Southern Sun is well known for its support of sport teams and events, and TSA chief executive officer Andre Homan said the federation was delighted to retain its partnership with the group, which will continue to play a key role in streamlining logistics during tournaments, as well as for meetings and gatherings.
“TSA is filled with pride to continue its association with this fantastic brand,” Homan said.
“Southern Sun has opened its doors as a home to our players, coaches and our members at large when they are away from home, and this continued partnership will deliver more benefits to both the federation and the wider tennis community.”
Marcel von Aulock, Southern Sun chief executive, says the group is delighted to continue its partnership with Tennis South Africa. “Since the group’s inception more than 50 years ago, we have been supporting sport in South Africa through long-term relationships with many South African sporting bodies. We are thrilled to continue our association with Tennis South Africa, and we look forward to extending our signature hospitality to the nation’s tennis stars for another two years.”
Southern Sun’s portfolio of brands includes award-winning luxury hotels such as the Beverly Hills, Arabella Hotel, Golf & Spa, 54 on Bath and Mount Grace Hotel & Spa, as well as trusted economy offerings such as StayEasy and Sun1, well-known full-service brands such as Southern Sun Hotels, SunSquare and Garden Court, and a collection of resorts in idyllic settings.
