The Travel Network Group (TTNG) has announced an in-principle agreement to acquire The Global Travel Group from dnata Travel Group. The deal is expected to be finalised in the coming few weeks

The Global Travel business, which has more than 200 members, will remain a separate membership proposition, within TTNG, alongside Travel Trust Association (TTA), Worldchoice and Independent Travel Experts (ITE).

Gary Lewis, CEO, TTNG, said: ?We are delighted to be welcoming the Global members into our Group. Our longstanding partnership with dnata and Gold Medal is one of the crucial reasons why we have put together this proposition. One of our core strategies is to stay relevant in the market and ensure that we can inspire, grow and protect our individual travel members."

John Bevan, CEO, dnata Travel Group, said: ?As a part of the proposed organisational changes, about which we have already started consulting our team, it seemed appropriate that we give strategic directions for The Global Travel Group to be supported by owners, whose focus solely on their membership proposition. We are confident that the many friends we have, within The Global Travel Group, will continue to thrive with The Travel Network Group and we wish them the very best for the future.?
