Continued growth in 2008 is assured for the global travel company Radius through successful travel agency recruitment and progress in the development of the Radius multinational account consolidation program as the company announced.

The new agencies who have joined Radius in 2007 include AAA Wrislit, Lithuania; Aktina Travel, Greece; Golden Formosa Travel Services, Taiwan; KD Travel Services, Malta; Marine Tours, Greece; New Logic, Ukraine; Omega Travel and Tours, Bahrain; Tangerine Travel (formerly ETI Travel), USA; Turisa Quito, Ecuador; and World Travel, Inc., USA. Radius travel agencies commit themselves to higher-level state-of-the-practice operations and service standards including common systems, common client reporting as well as financial commitment to the operation.

The growing network of Radius agencies contributes directly to the progress made by the Radius multinational corporate sales efforts. As corporations look at consolidation across multiple regions as a method for obtaining travel management services and containing travel and entertainment costs, Radius responds with customer-focused programs to work with these corporations on a multinational level, including local and regional account management, executive management support, and technological, financial expertise and global supplier relations.

Guiding this successful strategy is the Radius Board of Directors that was elected and installed in September 2007.

Rasmussen, Managing Director and CEO, Weco Travel International A/S; and Bill Tech, CTIE, President and CEO, Travel and Transport, Inc. Also sitting on the Board is Allan G. Slan, Radius Interim President and CEO.
