Australian travel group Flight Centre has made its first foray into continental Europe with the acquisition of a Dutch corporate agency.
The company revealed it has bought Business Travel Development in the Netherlands for an undisclosed sum.
"Having a company-owned presence in the Netherlands strengthens our proposition for national and multinational clients, and gives us a platform for further growth in the country and in Europe more broadly," Flight Centre managing director Graham Turner said.
The corporate agency has enjoyed a long association with Flight Centre as a licensee.
Turner said the company is also looking to expand in France and Scandinavia in the near future.
The company now has a presence in 14 countries and during the past year has made acquisitions in Mexico and Malaysia.
