DMC EXO Travel has announced the company will join travel and tourism organisation the JTB Group, following the acquisition of All Wise Holdings Pte. Ltd., owner of the EXO Travel Group brand, by JTB’s Asia Pacific operations.
Founded in 1993, EXO Travel has grown into one of Asia’s leading Destination Management Companies (DMCs), operating across Asia, as well as Egypt and Morocco.
Eijiro Yamakita, president & CEO of JTB Group, said: “By joining forces with EXO Travel, whose values closely align with the JTB Group’s mission, and combining this with JTB’s global network and expertise, we are confident that this partnership will elevate travel experiences while contributing to the continued advancement of the global travel and hospitality industry.”
Hamish Keith, CEO of EXO Travel Group, said the partnership represented a very positive step forward for EXO Travel. “JTB is one of the most respected travel companies globally, and we share a common purpose and long-term vision built around quality, relationships and meaningful travel experiences.
EXO has been successful over the past 30 years due to our local expertise, our culture and our commitment to service excellence delivered by a high performing team of committed people. We will continue operating with the same leadership, teams and partner-first approach that our agents and clients know today, while benefiting from the additional scale, resources and opportunities that being part of the JTB Group will bring.”
Existing teams, operational structures and points of contact remain unchanged, and there will be no disruption to current bookings, services or agreements, EXO Travel noted. The company will continue to operate under the leadership of CEO Hamish Keith and the existing management teams across its destinations and regional hubs.
