MSG Tours Ltd proudly announce an exciting partnership with Rugby World Cup 2023 as Official Travel Agents for the forthcoming edition on European soil.
Groupe Couleur, exclusive global rights holder for Rugby World Cup France 2023 Official Travel Programme, launched the process for the appointment of Official Travel Agents (OTAs) in January 2020, selecting MSG from an established range of operators.
2023 will see Rugby World Cup celebrate the 10th edition since its inception in 1987, and the 200th anniversary since the ‘invention’ of the sport by William Webb Ellis.
Ticket-inclusive travel packages will go on sale in March 2021. Supporters across the world can start organising their Rugby World Cup trips over two years before the tournament takes place.
Celebrating MSG’s 5th birthday with Official Travel Agent status.
Today’s announcement coincides with MSG’s fifth birthday celebrations, marking an exciting period of sustainable growth that elevates the brand to the international sporting market space.
“Obtaining official status from World Rugby for the planet’s third biggest sporting occasion is a huge honour for our ambitious business.
