The Finnish Business Travel Association is to back the expanding National Business Travel Association Europe network launched earlier this month.
The regional association represents 170 companies in Finland, with 70% of members listed as buyers.
This takes total NBTA Europe membership to over the 2,000 mark.
The decision also means that all four Nordic regions are now committed to the network.
A representative of FBTA will join the Partnership Council headed by NBTA Europe managing director Paul Tilstone.
NBTA Europe chairman Caroline Strachan said: ”We are so pleased that our Finnish colleagues have made the decision to support the new network.
“They have been advocates for a dynamic European network and will play a key role alongside the existing partners.”
Auni Karekari, Chairman of FBTA and Corporate Travel Manager for Kesko Corporation, said: “The FBTA board has made the unanimous decision to join and we are very much looking forward to seeing the benefits for our members in the coming months.
“We have a strong ethic of buyer-led decision making at FBTA and the goals and aspirations of NBTA Europe are perfectly aligned with our own. We are delighted to be a part of this exciting venture. ”
