HotelPlanner Becomes Official Hotel Booking Partner of American Association of Professional Baseball   

This partnership is a significant milestone for HotelPlanner, broadening the company’s reach by collaborating with one of America’s most prominent professional sports leagues, bringing together some of the greatest names in baseball and a professional partner league of Major League Baseball (MLB). 

HotelPlanner, a leading travel technology platform and hotel booking engine, today announced a new partnership with the American Association of Professional Baseball, (AAPB) a 12-team league that spans Winnipeg, Canada, to Cleburne, Texas.   

The American Association of Professional Baseball has a rich history in professional baseball. Founded in 1902, it significantly influenced the minor leagues for decades, seeing stars like Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle play in its ballparks. In 2005, it returned as an independent league, carrying on the legacy of the historic name. Today, AAPB operates in nine states and one Canadian province with twelve member clubs. Since 2006, 54 American Association players have gone on to play Major League Baseball. In 2023, over 65% of American Association players had played at Double-A or higher and 23 former American Association players played at the MLB level.
