Carlson Wagonlit seals China venture
Carlson Wagonlit Travel has formed a joint venture travel management company in China.
CWT had been working in partnership with the agency, China Air Service, for seven years and has been waiting for approval from the Chinese authorities to form a joint venture.
The venture will operate under the CWT name, and is licensed to sell only outbound air tickets. It will have a sole focus on corporate travel, and has already won business from Microsoft and Motorola.
China Air Service general manager, Sun Ji said: “For the past seven years China Air Service has been representing CWT in China and the groundwork has been laid, positioning us well ahead of our competitors in the delivery of corporate products and services. Much of the training and the CWT standards have already been implemented, eliminating the need to get acquainted.”
