International Travel Partnership has extended its reach in Germany and Austria with the signing of First Business Travel.
The addition of the TMC to ITP’s alliance network brings it 84 offices in Germany and four in Austria. First Business Travel is the corporate travel arm of German leisure travel giant Tui. It specialises in dealing with small to medium-sized corporates, a similar strategy to ITP.
ITP chairman Jean-Claude Fert said: “First Business Travel is a well-established corporate travel business with a customer profile similar to that of most of our other partners around the world. Importantly, First Business Travel has comprehensive coverage throughout Germany, an essential requirement in such a commercially important market.”
