Hogg Robinson has signed two new partners in Bolivia and Panama, extending its reach in Latin America.
Boliva’s Tropical Tours and International Meetings & Conventions Panama Inc have already been brought under the HRG brand.
Peter Vargas, senior vice president, HRG North America, said: “Latin America has weathered the global financial crisis and, as the market begins to recover, our clients are expressing their desire to grow in the region and consolidate with a single TMC.”
HRG now has 14 partners in the region covering the big economies. Latin America is increasingly a centre for business travel activity, particularly Brazil, currently the world’s eighth largest economy and Mexico, the 14th biggest.
