FCM Travel - Middle East & Africa
FCM: a global corporate travel management innovator: here you discover insights in Middle East & Africa & the industry
As the year draws to a close, it's common to wonder where the time has gone, and reflect on the speed at which it has passed. At FCM, we share this sentiment, and take pride in making every day count, for ourselves and our valued customers.
This year has been a whirlwind of exciting developments for us.
We are thrilled to have been accredited as a Great Place to Work in the UAE and beyond, and have expanded our presence with a brand new office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Despite the sweltering temperatures of the summer months, we persevered and secured over $70m worth of new business in the region. It's safe to say that we've been happily busy in the MEA region.
Amidst the excitement, we’ve been busy advising clients on industry trends in the region, making the traveller journey experience smoother with our technology, and guiding prospective clients on how to run a successful RFP (Request for Proposals).
We are excited to share this newsletter with you and wish you a prosperous 2024. Whether you're a current or prospective client, we hope you find something of interest within these pages. Happy reading!
