"Fan support at home and also on the road has been a vital ingredient in the success of this franchise over the last 20 years," said Chiefs President Carl Peterson. "Moreover, with this new travel program we can reward our fans for that support, as each time they book travel -- whether business or personal, related to Chiefs games or not -- they have the opportunity to win any number of special prizes from watching a preseason game from a luxury suite, becoming a Chiefs player for a day and enjoying other fan friendly experiences."

The Chiefs Travel Web site offers competitive rates on the top airlines, thousands of hotels and many rental car companies, as well as a wide selection of offerings by leading vacation package providers and cruise lines. Site visitors will still enjoy the ability to earn airline miles, rental car and hotel points that they typically receive. In addition, the Chiefs will be offering celebrity cruises, featuring Pro Football Hall of Fame LB Bobby Bell, current players and special guests. Also, the site offers options such as exclusive tour packages to China and Europe, limousine service, restaurant reservations, golf tee times and vacation packages, flowers, gift baskets, concert tickets, passports, airport parking and much more. Each purchase will qualify a fan to enter the Chiefs giveaways.

"We at YTB and our outside representatives are excited by our partnership agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs and the opportunity to enhance the fans' travel experience throughout the year," stated J. Kim Sorensen, President, and CEO of YTB Travel Network, Inc. "There are Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holders across the country and Chiefs fans throughout the world.
