FCm Travel Solutions finds partner in Latin America
FCm Travel Solutions has selected Flytour as its partner in Brazil and to manage its new Latin America region.
The agreement means that FCm Travel Solutions has managed to gain a presence in all continents in just over a year since its launch.
Sao Paulo-based Flytour has over 100 offices in Brazil and sales in excess of $500 million, of which $ 220 million is generated by corporate travel.
Flytour Business Travel has its own online booking tools including the development of its own site Flytour.com, which is customised to meet each client’s needs.
Its client includes 3M, Avon, Canon, Credit Suisse, Ericsson, and Givaudan.
Flytour Business Travel also has sizeable onsite client locations at Caterpillar, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Scania, and Wal Mart Brazil.
On behalf of FCm Travel Solutions, Flytour Business Travel will initially sign agreements with six other countries in the region – Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.
Flytour Business Travel will therefore play a strategic role in Latin America providing regional management and direction to these new partners.
“Brazil is one of the fastest growing economies in the world,’ said Anthony Grigson, global CEO, FCm Travel Solutions.
“The business culture in Latin America is very different to other regions and is built around personal relationships and two major languages. It is therefore vital for us to have the region managed effectively by a local leading specialist travel management company.”
Flytour president and owner Eloi D’Avila de Oliveira will become regional president of Latin America.
