Graham Ramsey, CEO of ATPI
ATPI Group has acquired New Zealand-based Business World Travel, expanding the group’s reach in the travel management and events business in the region.
With this, ATPI now has 34 wholly-owned offices spread across 18 countries worldwide.
Expansion in the Asia-Pacific region for ATPI has recently included the acquisition of Australia-based Voyager in January 2014, the purchase of DTC Travel in Malaysia in October 2015, as well as new expanded premises in Singapore to accommodate a growing team. The company also launched ATPI Sports Events in Australia earlier this year.
Grant Bevin, founder of Business World Travel, will continue to lead his company’s operations from New Zealand.
Commenting on the acquisition, Graham Ramsey, CEO of ATPI, said: “The purchase of Business Travel World is a significant milestone for our global business. As part of our growth strategy over the last two years we have focused on extensive investment and acquisitions.
“Through this most recent deal, we have a new exciting venture that reinforces the high standards of client service that are a cornerstone of our business. In turn, Business Travel World and its clients will benefit from ATPI’s bespoke technology, purchasing power, and comprehensive people development and training.”
