FCm to Target Asia as Key Driver of Future Growth


Asia-Pacific based FCm Travel Solutions is set to further develop its business across the Asia region, which is expected to be one of the strongest drivers in the company's worldwide growth over the next three years.

FCm's executive general manager for Asia, Rob Flint, said the company cemented its three-year strategy at its regional meeting held in Bangkok recently, which was attended by senior leaders and decision-makers from FCm's partner travel companies across Asia.

"Our long-term plan for Asia is all about developing our business to meet the rapid growth we anticipate in this regional market. Asian airlines recovered at nearly twice the global rate late last year, so we believe we are looking ahead to a steady and continued resumption of business travel activity in this region," he said.
