The 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris will be the first in history to host an extended hospitality program next summer.
Paris will host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2024, a full century after the Olympic Games were last held in the iconic French capital – although this time it will be a first Paralympic sports festival.
After a 100-year wait, Paris 2024 has partnered with hotel supplier On Location, putting together packages to support seven sports next summer. Sales begin on October 11.
These include wheelchair basketball, para-athletics, para-judo, para-swimming, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis and para-cycling track, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
The opening ceremony will be the first in Paralympic history not to take place inside a stadium.
The Paralympic Games are being held in Paris for the first time in the competition’s history
The elaborate opening ceremony takes place on the Champs-Élysées and the Place de la Concorde
Instead, it will take place on the Champs Élysées and Place de la Concorde in the heart of the city, with a special Garden Party hospitality experience in the Tuileries Gardens as well as first-class views of the traditional athletes’ parade.
Paul Caine, president of On Location and IMG Events, said: “As the official hospitality provider for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, our mission is to create unforgettable moments that celebrate diversity and forge valuable connections.”
“The values of the Paralympic Games – courage, commitment and determination – deeply reflect our approach.”
“We are honored to contribute to this extraordinary event by offering hospitality packages that reflect these core principles and create exceptional experiences for all our guests.”
There are three different packages available for fans; Guaranteed seats in the middle of the action through the Lounge Package, Fan Kit Packages and Travel Packages.
Shared Lounge Packages offer fans with Category A ticket holders the opportunity to select their favorite sporting event with priority access.
Hospitality packages offer fans views and access to arenas such as the Roland Garros Stadium (wheelchair tennis), the Stade de France (para-athletics) or the Champ-de-Mars Arena (wheelchair rugby).
In addition, there will be a variety of immersive and interactive activities in the shared lounges, and dedicated staff will escort viewers to the reception, where guests can enjoy food and drinks.
Fans visiting Paris for the Paralympic Games can choose from three different hospitality packages for seven events
Customers with a Fan Kit package get access to pre-event activities at sports venues and then receive a bag of memorabilia and souvenirs to take home.
These packages also give you priority access to the venues as well as a snack and a drink during your chosen event.
Aimed at guests looking to spend between one and four days in Paris, the Travel Kit package offers tickets to a range of events as well as three and four star accommodation.
As such, prices for this package are slightly more expensive, from £671, with guests able to book both their accommodation and events in one place.
Packages are available through On Location, the official and exclusive hospitality provider for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games HERE.
