“Our brands are both believers in the experience economy and of the mindset that the best memories are often made together in person. Working with an amazing team like Hotels.com to make travel to Hawks games and State Farm Arena events even more enjoyable for our fans and attendees is rewarding,” said Hawks and State Farm Arena’s Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Andrew Saltzman.
Hotels.com is entering its fourth season as the Official Travel Partner of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
