Titlis Rotair, the Swiss tourism company running cable cars and hotels, has renewed its partnership with the World Curling Federation by becoming presenting sponsor of the Capital One World Women’s Curling Championship 2011 which will take place from the 18-27 March in Esbjerg, Denmark. The agreement has been concluded by Infront Sports & Media, the exclusive media and marketing partner of the World Curling Federation.

Küttel added: “Friendship is the word that best describes the cooperation we experienced in the past with the World Curling Federation as well as Infront Sports & Media. So we are happy to renew our partnership one more time.”

“The World Curling Federation would like to thank Titlis Rotair for renewing their commitment to our sport. The Women’s World Championship is a first class event at which we are able to showcase our partners on a global level” said WCF President Kate Caithness.
