International corporate services company Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) today announces that Douala-headquartered Executive & Leisure Travel Agency (ELTA) is to join the HRG worldwide network as its exclusive partner in the Republic of Cameroon. Demonstrating its commitment to HRG, ELTA’s corporate travel operations will trade as HRG Cameroon with immediate effect.
Cameroon’s corporate travel industry is estimated to be increasing by 5% year on year according to industry experts and in the last two years more airline carriers have entered the market, resulting in increased frequency of flights and the creation of a more dynamic marketplace. The addition of Cameroon, a new market for HRG, to the HRG worldwide network enhances the company’s extensive network and client capabilities across Africa, taking the total number of HRG operations in the region to 11.
HRG Cameroon is one of the leading travel management companies (TMCs) in the country and operates dedicated business travel centres in the main business districts of Douala and Yaounde. HRG Cameroon is currently the only TMC in the country to offer clients an email itinerary service and, with particular expertise in servicing the English-speaking corporate community, its high profile clients include Standard Chartered Bank, the US Embassy, the Cameroon Development Corporation and Schlumberger.
Litombo Litumbe, Managing Director of HRG Cameroon, commented: “Joining the HRG worldwide network helps us maintain our position at the forefront of our industry and gives us access to the extensive range of products, services and global capabilities that HRG is renowned for. This means that our clients will benefit from an even higher quality service in the future, supported by an international organisation with an outstanding knowledge of the global corporate travel industry.”
David Radcliffe, Chief Executive of HRG, added: “We are delighted to welcome Litombo and his colleagues at HRG Cameroon to the HRG worldwide network. They are well known for abilities to service corporate clients and follow a similar approach to HRG in providing a quality, value-added service. The combination of HRG’s global capabilities and strength, combined with the local expertise that our in-country partners offer, means that our clients can depend on our network for a consistently high standard of service, no matter where they are in the world.”
