“I am delighted to welcome Australia and Platinum Travel Corporation to our growing network of Global Partners,” said Charlwood. “Corporate travel is about to explode in developing markets in south Asia and the Pacific Rim. This partnership is a significant win-win. UNIGLOBE’s network and buying power will translate into advantages and savings for Platinum Travel clients, and Platinum’s leadership will no doubt grow our brand and referral opportunities in Australia.”
