FCm Travel Solutions has signed a deal with a new partner in leading energy destination Kazakhstan.
The Flight Centre-owned TMC has agreed a deal with local agency RBT-Kazakhstan, which specialises in the oil and gas sectors.
RBT-Kazakhstan is based in Ust-Kamenogorsk and has a second office in Aktau, with a third centre due to open in the Kazakh capital of Astana within the next few weeks.
Franziskus Bumm, FCm’s European general manager, said: “This new partner agreement in Kazakhstan will further strengthen FCm’s travel management industry specialisation.
“There are more than 200 oil and gas fields in Kazakhstan and a reported $7 billion worth of foreign investment in the country’s oil reserves in the Caspian Sea.
“It’s crucial FCm has on-the-ground local teams in this region to service both local companies and multinational firms looking to capitalise on the natural resources industry. Kazakhstan’s market is growing quickly, which is why the demand for corporate travel services is also rising.”
