More than ever, the world of business travel agencies is undergoing consolidation. The takeover of CWT by American Express GBT, which brought together the market's No. 1 and No. 2 players, has set the ball rolling. Among the major American TMCs, Direct Travel is advancing a little further in the world by announcing the takeover of the British TMC ATPI, giving rise to a group generating a volume of over 6 billion dollars in travel per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\" We will join forces to offer a compelling alternative to mega-agencies for international travel across all our geographic markets and business sectors<\/em> \"said Ian Sinderson, CEO of ATPI.
