Travel management company ATPI Group has continued its global expansion with the signing of Romanian travel and events firm Business Travel Turism.
The addition of the TMC now sees ATPI with a network of offices and partners in 42 countries, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and Brazil.
Graham Ramsey, chief executive officer, ATPI Group, said: “We look for regional expertise and excellence in our partners and are very pleased to add Business Travel Turism to our growing network.
“Expanding our group operation via acquisitions and new partners is a key part of our growth plans. We look forward to the opportunities that this partnership brings to both businesses.”
Paula Dobrescu, owner and CEO, Business Travel Turism, said: “The central European region is experiencing a fast pace of growth, and our economy is outperforming much of northern and western Europe.
“Our business has grown significantly in Romania thanks to a developing local market, and we are excited about the potential that our partnership with the global ATPI Group brings as we strengthen our position as the travel management company of choice in central Europe.”
ATPI was number eight in BBT’s 2014 list of UK TMCs.
