ATP International (ATPI) is to open offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah under a franchise deal with UAE travel management company Orient Travel.
"These new ATP offices will cement our position as a major international travel management company," said ATPI group chief executive Graham Ramsey. "The Middle East offers considerable growth opportunities for us - as well as handling existing ATP clients locally, we will be better placed to seek out new clients."
Orient Travel will also have first option on extending the partnership to other parts of the Middle East, and to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
