TMC network Uniglobe has expanded its operations by acquiring the contracts of members of UK-based ITP (International Travel Partnership) Network.
Vancouver-based Uniglobe said that the deal with ITP, which has members across Europe and other regions, adds travel management companies “in a number of key markets”. Financial terms have not been disclosed.
Uniglobe was ranked as the seventh largest TMC network in Europe in 2024, with ITP in eighth position.
“The ITP members that are now part of Uniglobe Travel will benefit from expanded technology and supplier offerings, a much larger global network of partner agencies and more robust support from the Uniglobe Travel head office in Vancouver and regional office in London,” said Uniglobe in a statement.
The deal also sees ITP’s Hans Rudbeck Dahl and Kristel Ruinet joining Uniglobe's regional office in London.
Martin Charlwood, president and chief operating officer of Uniglobe Travel International, added: “This move expands our network by adding agencies in a number of key markets, which benefits our existing member agencies, the members we’re welcoming from ITP and their collective clients.
“We’re also pleased to be able to add two key staff members to both facilitate this transition and enhance our support teams for the long term.”
Uniglobe said that adding ITP’s agencies alongside other new members has increased its annual global sales volume to $4.5 billion. The network now has TMC members in more than 50 countries.
