CWT integrates WorldMate mobile technologies for business travellers

Carlson Wagonlit Travel has acquired the American company WorldMate, a specialist in technological tools for business travellers.

Twelve years after its launch in San Francisco, WorldMate is now part of Carlson Wagonlit Travel. The business travel agency made its new acquisition official on 31 October, underlining the strengthening of its already solid mobile offering. The technology offered by WorldMate, which specialises in itinerary management systems, will further enhance the CWT To Go application. CWT also expects the acquisition of WorldMate to "give business travellers access to a wider range of mobile services, including airport parking, restaurant reservations, public transport and airline offers such as in-flight Internet".
