The Latest
• In September 2020, Corporate Travel Management (CTM), ETM’s parent company, acquired Travel and Transport in the U.S. In April 2022, CTM completed the acquisition of Helloworld Corporate in Australia.
• Recent leadership changes include the promotion of Tami Reier, CMP, to senior vice president & general manager, ETM North America, and the appointment of John Nicholls as global head of ESG and sustainability for CTM globally.
• ETM now offers emergency response services, providing hotel sourcing and housing management for clients in need of quick-turnaround emergency assistance in response to natural disasters, healthcare worker shortages due to Covid-19, and other reasons.
• As companies emerge from the pandemic ready to build or rebuild their strategic meeting management programs, ETM is now providing consulting solutions. This includes service delivery as well as meeting technology and workflow consultation.
• During the pandemic, ETM researched and negotiated hotel buy-outs to create safe “bubble” programs. The buy-out negotiation established levels of hotel services and outlet operations to ensure the safe continuity of services at the hotel. The most notable “bubble” lasted 10 weeks.
