TMC network GlobalStar Travel Management has added Connections Group Australia as its latest partner.
Connections Group is the largest independent TMC in Australia and is the latest new partner for GlobalStar as it continues its global expansion. The network added Japan’s World Travel System as a partner last month.
GlobalStar CEO James Stevenson said: “The intimate knowledge the Connections Group team have is more valuable than ever as Australia reopens post-pandemic.
“We are seeing more and more significant travel companies from around the world looking for the ways and means of benefitting from global reach and expertise.”
As part of the move, Gary Reichenberg, founder and director of Connections Group Australia, will join the GlobalStar’s board as a director.
“The strength and breadth of the network has already enabled us to play a part in securing significant new business on a global basis,” added Reichenberg.
London-based GlobalStar was ranked as the third largest TMC network in Europe in BTN Europe’s list of Europe’s Leading TMCs 2021, with members in more than 85 countries across 3,500 locations.
