Rocky Racco, CEO of TTI Travel and Frank DeMarinis, CEO, H.I.S-Merit Travel Group and H.I.S-Red Label Vacations Inc., announce that TTI has purchased MeritBiz from H.I.S-Merit Travel Group. MeritBiz is the Corporate Travel Management division of H.I.S-Merit Travel Group.

MeritBiz is a business travel service provider with over 30 years experience working with corporate clients and will now also benefit from the technology and experience of TTI & BCD Travel.

In addition to the personalized service to which their clients and travellers have become familiar, soon, there will be new benefits that come with being part of the TTI Travel Community," said Racco.

"These include access to TTI's 'restart of travel' focus, where we have implemented new technologies and processes to ensure the well-being and safety of our travellers while adhering to their corporation's initiatives regarding Duty of Care given our current COVID-19 impacted landscape. Our hybrid' home & office' working capabilities ensure our clients' continuous and uninterrupted quality service delivery."

Racco added: "I believe this acquisition will enhance the collective value and service we offer clients, suppliers, and partners and create real growth opportunities. This is a great opportunity for TTI as we move into 2022 to increase our support for our customers around the world as the market returns to pre-Covid-19 levels. This also allows us to expand and diversify our business in this new normal environment."

Frank DeMarinis, CEO of H.I.S-Red Label Vacations Inc., said: “MeritBiz has always been a service-based business that flawlessly executed its deliverables for over 30 years. TTI Travel's caliber and proven track record in corporate travel solutions made it clear that they would be the right fit to continue servicing MeritBiz clients and travellers. With a solid understanding of our products and market, we're confident TTI Travel has the proper operational skills to deliver continued growth and great success for MeritBiz.”
