TMC network GlobalStar has expanded into Italy with TravelDesk Business Travel Management joining as a new partner.
Genoa-based TravelDesk, which was founded in 1991, currently has a team of 25 staff serving more than 500 corporate clients in Italy and other countries. The TMC has an annual turnover of €11 million.
Mirella Bruschi, founder and CEO of TravelDesk, explained the move to partner with GlobalStar: “Joining the network adds both strength and depth to our existing business and will help us to continue to grow TravelDesk.”
James Stevenson, GlobalStar’s CEO, said that Italy was a “strategically important and valuable market for our business”.
“In welcoming TravelDesk to the GlobalStar network, we add not only another like-minded and ambitious travel business but also critical Italian expertise in corporate travel, meetings and events, and marine and offshore travel, a sector that requires expertise, significant manpower and a wealth of experience,” added Stevenson.
GlobalStar was ranked as Europe’s fourth largest TMC network in the list of Europe’s Leading TMCs 2023.
