MLTT Names HotelPlanner Official Online Booking Partner to Streamline Travel

Major League Table Tennis has tapped HotelPlanner as its Official Online Booking Platform Partner to simplify travel across the league’s growing national event calendar. The partnership, announced in a press release datelined PRINCETON, N.J., January 29, 2026, aims to centralize accommodations for athletes, staff, families and fans who travel to MLTT event weekends.

As part of the agreement, HotelPlanner will provide MLTT access to its booking platform, offering hotel savings of up to 70%, travel-planning tools, and 24/7 U.S.-based member support. The release also commits to digital integration across MLTT platforms, including website visibility, social promotion, and a presence at select league events, signaling a coordinated approach to booking and on-site support during match weekends.

“We’re proud to support MLTT as it continues elevating the sport in the U.S.,” said Tim Hentschel, Co-CEO of HotelPlanner. “By delivering great hotel choices at great rates, we’re helping make travel easier for players, staff, and fans, while supporting the league’s continued growth nationwide.”

“MLTT is growing quickly, and our event weekends bring together elite athletes, staff, families, and fans from across the country,” said Mimi Bosika, SVP of Competition for Major League Table Tennis. “HotelPlanner gives our community a reliable, easy-to-use platform to book travel with confidence.”

MLTT describes itself in the release as “now in its third season as the only professional table tennis league in the United States.” That third-season momentum, together with recent site coverage such as “Week 11 Recap: Chicago Ends Season on a High Note in Houston” and injury updates, underscores a packed calendar of away matches and multi-city event weekends where streamlined travel logistics are increasingly important for teams and supporters.

HotelPlanner is presented in the release as “a leading travel technology company and hotel booking platform that combines proprietary artificial intelligence and a 24/7 global gig-based reservations and customer service network.” The announcement reconciles two support claims: the MLTT partnership promises 24/7 U.S.-based member support for league users, while HotelPlanner’s company description references a broader global gig-based reservations and customer service network.

The release does not include the MLTT booking-portal link, nor does it specify partnership length, exclusivity, or the methodology behind the “up to 70%” savings claim. Details about which select events will feature on-site HotelPlanner presence and whether team travel blocks will be managed centrally were also not disclosed.

Centralized booking can reduce time spent coordinating hotels between matches and shrink out-of-pocket costs for traveling rosters and fan groups. Check MLTT platforms for the portal rollout and pricing examples; as the league scales its live-event footprint, a single booking channel could make away weekends easier to plan and help supporters spend more time watching points rather than juggling reservations.
