World Travellers general manager Dave Nicholson says the addition of Fortis Travel strengthens the group’s position as a home for high performing, future focused independent agencies.
‘Fortis Travel is an exceptional business with a strong reputation in premium leisure, corporate travel and events. The decision to join World Travellers reflects the value of our commercial model, our technology stack, and the global reach we can offer through FCTG’s buying power – benefits that World Travellers members access through the group’s strategic partnership.’
These benefits will support Fortis Travel’s growth across both leisure and corporate segments.
As part of the partnership, World Travellers and Fortis Travel see opportunity in selling select sports and events travel product through the national network — expanding distribution and creating new revenue pathways for both businesses.
This aligns with the growing demand for premium sports travel experiences across New Zealand.
Blair Huston, MD of Fortis Travel, says joining World Travellers creates new opportunities for clients and future growth.
‘Joining World Travellers allows us to retain the independence and culture that are important to us, while gaining access to greater buying power, technology and broader opportunities that will enhance what we can offer our clients.’
Fortis Travel will transition into the group effective 1 July.
