The History Behind the Creation of the Eurobasket Tours

The History Behind the Creation of the Eurobasket Tours

The Eurobasket Tour journey began all the way back in 1997 when our initial website Eurobasket.com was founded. Since 1997, Eurobasket has become the Headquarters for online information that tracks all players, coaches, and teams throughout their collegiate and professional careers. The website currently attracts over 1 million visitors per month to view the vast network of information for professional basketball on 6 continents, 197 countries, and 421 different professional or collegiate leagues.

(See example below of what a Eurobasket Player Profile looks like, and a 2020 Eurobasket Tour attendee to Armenia who has since played professionally in 4 different countries!)

The production of this data and information has helped Eurobasket form a massive basketball network globally that would eventually lead to the success of the Eurobasket Tour program. To produce a basketball tour at the highest caliber, three things must exist.

1) An ability to easily navigate a foreign country providing transportation, lodging, and other necessities for an adequate trip.

2) An ability to plan fun, exciting, and culturally-rich sightseeing excursions that a traveler would not be able to experience on their own or see in their home country.

3) And finally, orchestrate a schedule of competitive basketball games against current overseas professional teams that give a player an experience they could not create on their own.

In addition, be able to spread word to other professional teams that potential prospects will be coming to their country to play. 

The basketball aspect is what separates the Eurobasket tours from any other competitor in the industry. Travelers can contact any travel agency to help plan a trip overseas, but only Eurobasket can plan the trip and activities while producing the highest quality of basketball options. 

The basketball network then flows into the traveler's benefit as the local coaches and team owners in each country help us navigate the ins and outs of each country. Finding the hidden gems, visiting the best view points, and exploring the unmissable landmarks that each voyage contains. Our itineraries are built for all around exposure to what each country's cultural landscape has to offer. 

As we enter the 2024/25 Academic and Athletic Calendar we have successfully orchestrated 31 different tours throughout 21 different countries. We are looking forward to another great summer of tours with our players, coaches, family, and friends!
