FCm Travel Solutions’ ambitious growth plans continue with the global travel management company recently sealing a new agreement with a leading travel agency in Kazakhstan.

RBT-Kazakhstan is headquartered in Ust-Kamenogorsk and has two business travel centres, including one in Ust-Kamenogorsk and another in Aktau.

RBT-Kazakhstan is also in the process of setting up a new office in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana, which is expected to be operational within the next two months.

The agency specialises in travel management for firms in the oil and gas sectors with teams highly experienced in group travel bookings for staff rosters, supplier contract negotiations and 24/7 travel services.

General manager of FCm’s network in Europe, Franziskus Bumm said: “This new partner agreement in Kazakhstan will further strengthen FCm’s travel management industry specialisation.

“There are more than 200 oil and gas fields in Kazakhstan and a reported $7 billion worth of foreign investment in the country’s oil reserves in the Caspian Sea.

“It’s crucial FCm has on-the-ground local teams in this region to service both local companies and multinational firms looking to capitalise on the natural resources industry. Kazakhstan’s market is growing quickly, which is why the demand for corporate travel services is also rising.

“The Kazakhstan partnership is one of a few partner agreements FCm recently has signed off on, which signals that we are on track with projected growth targets,” added Bumm.

“With teams now located in places like Angola and Kazakhstan, FCm is increasingly penetrating some of the more unique markets, which are being recognised for their broad commercial appeal,” he said.

FCm Travel Solutions is considered the World’s Leading Travel Management Company by the World Travel Awards.
