International Reach, Independent
Ownership

Membership for established independent Travel Management Companies.

NGT brings established independent Travel Management Companies (TMCs) together in a coordinated international network.

Members can pursue multinational travel opportunities and draw on shared infrastructure and strategic
partnerships without giving up their ownership, brand or client relationships.

The Opportunity Why Join the NGT
Network?

Independent TMCs know their markets, their suppliers
and their clients. Serving multinational businesses,
however, calls for coordination beyond any one market.

NGT provides a way to take part in international travel
programmes while continuing to run your business
independently.
