INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL PARTNERSHIP (ITP), the global network of mid-sized travel management companies, has signed its second US partner, Alaska-based USTravel.
Founded in 1978, USTravel has 10 full-service offi ces in its home state, as well as locations in Washington, Iowa and Idaho. ITP now has 35 partners in 29 countries.
Ian Epps, director of partnership relations with ITP, said UStravel's "strong West Coast base complements our existing coverage in the US and brings an even stronger travel management focus to ITP."
The ITP alliance, while focusing primarily on corporate travel, also provides its partners with technology solutions to facilitate intra-network support for MICE and DMC servicing. Ranked in the top 20 independent travel management companies in the US, USTravel has 228 full-time employees.
