SALT LAKE CITY – Christopherson Business Travel has announced the acquisition of All Seasons Travel, forming one of the largest travel management firms in the country, expanding Christopherson’s footprint beyond the western United States, where it currently ranks as the largest travel agency in the Rocky Mountain region.
Salt Lake City-based Christopherson Business Travel and All Seasons Travel, headquartered in Birmingham, Ala., will conduct business under the Christopherson brand name. The combined $380 million company will employ more than 300 travel professionals across the country, with Christopherson’s Mike Cameron continuing as CEO.

The acquisition will provide jobs for all current employees of each company.
“Combining the strengths of these powerful travel firms, that already share the same vision, will allow us to serve the needs of business and leisure travelers even more effectively,” said All Seasons’ CEO Borden Burr. “It is a major advantage for each of our companies, as well as for our customers.”
