We will also arrange your basketball clinics (with training matches) at levels that match your girls' or boys' basketball team(s).

Accommodation for Your Basketball Team
Premier International Tours selects accommodations with great care at each of our basketball travel destinations. Each location has been checked by our basketball tours staff. Most accommodations have been used for many years with great satisfaction by other basketball teams. The choice of accommodations in our international baskketball travel destinations depends on the budget of each basketball team. We offer many lodging possibilities, including school dorms, budget hotels, business-class hotels, youth hostels, and sports centers. Meal arrangements are usually half board (breakfast and dinner each day). At basketball clinics, full board is offered for the basketball tour.
Note: The participant price indications in the basketball tour and destination examples are based on budget accommodations such as school and youth hostels. Upgraded accommodations are available for each basketball tour and destination at a surcharge.
Ground Transportation—Private Team Bus
Transportation within Europe and South America is by a motor coach equipped for long-distance basketball travel, which is the most convenient way to transport your team while on tour. All have reclining seats, refrigerators for drinks, and stereo systems. The bus will be at your team’s service from arrival until departure from your international basketball travel destination. There are some exceptions during summer basketball travel in South America, where the team bus is available for transfers only.
Round-Trip Airfare
​
We have secured special bargains with major airlines for intercontinental flights. For the basketball tour examples presented on our website, intercontinental airfare from New York is included. Airport taxes and fuel surcharges are not included.
