2022 is off to a flying start for Australia’s largest, independent travel buying network CT Partners with two further additions to the group.
Hot on the heels of signing Aurora Travel in January, CT Partners is proud to confirm the signing of its 30th Member, the Australian division of global corporate travel and events management company, ATPI, a connected network of over 100 worldwide offices.
CT Partners has continued to strategically expand its premium market position following a highly successful 2021 which saw the addition of 10 new agencies.
Always premium focused, CT Partners now includes many highly successful leisure as well as corporate agencies. The group has expanded its supplier portfolio to cater to its new members and to support members in meeting the new landscape.
The CT Partners Advantage
With the travel industry reeling after two incredibly tough years of border closures and seemingly endless delays in the recovery, the move by several airlines to reduce agency remuneration through BSP cuts means that now, more than ever, businesses are looking to be part of a strong supportive network which ensures that every incentive dollar earned from bookings ends up in their pockets.
CT Partners’ winning focus is on successfully enabling members to grow their businesses and increase profitability through delivering solid financial returns, full ownership of decision making, and 100% pass back of supplier payments, without members having to pay for services and support they simply don’t need.
ATPI Regional Managing Director for Australasia and Africa, Peter Muller
On joining CT Partners, ATPI Regional Managing Director for Australasia and Africa, Peter Muller commented “We are very pleased to be joining CT Partners and its high calibre group of members. Joining forces to achieve strong supplier outcomes makes sense for our local business and customers. We look forward to supporting CT Partners as we collectively embrace the return to domestic and international travel.”
CT Partners CEO Matt Masson said, “ATPI and Aurora Travel recognise the value CT Partners drives to our members through our exceptional buying power, commitment to our members, and our intelligent, informed advice and support. Every decision is made based on consultation with members and informed by our core focus of maximising the benefits and impacts for each of our members. We are delighted to welcome ATPI and Aurora Travel to the CT Partners family.”
“As a not-for-profit business owned 100% by our members, our only fiduciary responsibility is to grow their businesses, not our own. We don’t have to worry about the impact of our decision making on the share price or dividends. This is the key point of difference for CT Partners, and the reason we are so aligned with our Members.”
“CT Partners is determined to continue to provide an environment that enables our Members to thrive and exceed their individual business goals while maintaining our position as a trusted and respected partner of choice for customers, suppliers and the industry partners with whom we work.”
