SOUTH African retail travel brand,
Rennies Travel, has joined BCD
Travel’s global network.
Rennies was previously aligned with
the Hogg Robinson Group (HRG).
In July last year, American Express
Global Business Travel completed its
acquisition of HRG. Tourvest Travel
Services operates the Amex brand in
the South African market.
BCD will continue to
operate its current South
African joint venture,
BCD Travel South Africa,
separately from Rennies.
Both brands fall within the
Bidvest group.
It’s “business as usual”,
Marco Cristofoli, ceo of
BCD Travel South Africa, told
TNW. “Rennies Travel is a
strong brand in the South
African market.
“This partnership will
give Rennies reach from a
product and technology point
of view,” he says.
“We chose BCD Travel as
our partner because of its
global reach, its consistent
delivery of and roadmap for
innovation, its global data
consolidation expertise
and its service orientation
across all markets around
the world,” says Bronwyn
Philipps, ceo of Rennies
Travel.
