UK Travel Management Company Is First To Open Offices In Iraq

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Jul 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
CT Business Travel will be the first UK travel management company to open
offices in Iraq. It will organise business travel to Iraq and provide
local support to help minimise the risk to UK companies who are involved
in re-building and improving Iraq's infrastructure.

Corporate travel specialists CT Business Travel has operated a number of
successful trade missions to Iraq over the last 12 to 18 months,
following the success of these missions and recognising the opportunities
Iraq presents, CT Business Travel has taken the bold step of opening
offices in Bagdad and Arbil. This move will ensure that CT Business
Travel can better service its clients who are travelling to and working
within Iraq.

There are many opportunities for UK companies to secure contracts in Iraq
to help start re-building and improving the country's infrastructure.
However, any companies venturing to Iraq to help with this re-building
need to understand that there is still a certain amount of risk involved;
this war torn country can not yet be considered completely safe.

Mark Kempster, Managing Director of CT Business Travel commented:
"By having offices with local staff in Iraq, we have the knowledge
and expertise to provide essential advice and great service to help
clients. Safety in a country like this is of course paramount so we can
recommend the safest ways to travel around the county and the best
accommodation to book, and should any situation arise where a company
needs help, CT Business Travel is immediately on hand to assist.

This priceless local knowledge is also constantly being filtered back to
our team in the UK. All our teams no matter where they are located go
through rigorous and regular training regarding the most up to date and
best security measures. The most important thing is that we are up to
date with all the knowledge to ensure our clients have the safest
journeys possible".

No other UK travel management company has offices in Iraq and this puts
CT Business Travel in a unique and privileged position, as they also have
the ability to organise and provide visas for those wishing to travel and
work in the country.

Through its years of experience in running trade missions and dealing
with many UK businesses, CT Business Travel is able to identify and
approach companies whose offerings are suitable to Iraq's current and
future needs, which will help re-build and provide the country with a
solid infrastructure it so desperately needs.

CT Business Travel is an award winning corporate travel agency, has been
trading for 21 years and is one of the largest independent business
travel agents in the UK, providing travel management services to clients
both large and small, offering great value and exceptional customer
service.
