Netherlands-based travel management company ATG Travel Worldwide has expanded its global franchise network by adding five new TMCs across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The new additions include Sweden’s Travel Support, which will now serve ATG’s clients in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden as ATG Nordics through its offices in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Travel Support announced a new NDC framework agreement with technology firm Nordic NDC earlier this month.

Other moves see Al Rashed International Travel take up the role of ATG Kuwait and Al Jaber Travels and Tours doing likewise as ATG Qatar. In Asia, Tokyo Masters will act as ATG Japan and Lien Luc Dia will serve as ATG Vietnam.

Hans Trommel, executive director of ATG Travel Worldwide, said: “ATG is thrilled to have these five dynamic, professional agencies join our franchise network.

“Establishing a local country office in both Kuwait and Qatar further demonstrates ATG’s commitment to our expansion and development in the Middle East market.”

The five agencies will use ATG’s proprietary Enterprise Quality Exchange platform, which is designed to “harmonise” the consistency of service across all countries for ATG’s clients.
