“The decision was easy for us. We have know and worked closely with Hogg Robinson since we joined BTI in the mid-nineties and have a good relationship with them.”
Hogg Robinson chief executive David Radcliffe said: “BTI Brasil is a highly respected company with a superb maagemtn team who have built an excellent reputation for client service in both the international and local arenas.
“Brazil is arguably the most important market in Latin America and to be able to work with one of the most important travel management companies in the country on a much longer term basis further demonstrates the strength of our international capabilities and the increased benefits for our clients.”
