FCm Travel Solutions has expanded its operations in Africa by signing up new partners in Mozambique and Tanzania.
The moves mean that the Flight Centre-owned TMC now has nine partners on the continent as well as a regional head office in South Africa.
FCm has signed a deal with Antelope Tours and Travel Services Limited in Tanzania which has offices in the capital Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma.
The TMC has also extended its current agreement with Alive, an affiliate of On Tourism Capital Investments, to cover Mozambique. FCm has already been working with Alive in Portugal and Angola since last year. The company also took on a new partner in Ghana in March.
Ciaran Kelly, FCm’s general manager for the Middle East and Africa, said: “The spotlight has been on Africa for a while now as the continent offers major opportunities for growth and development for international companies.
“From the mining, oil and gas industries to offshore, property development and MICE travel, there is broad commercial interest in Africa which is steadily increasing inbound and outbound business travel for the region.
“The growth of our African network in the past year has been well-received by our regional and multinational clients as it’s critical that global TMCs like FCm can offer on-the-ground travel management services to clients looking to fly into places like Mozambique, Tanzania, Nigeria and Angola.”
