TMC network One Global has boosted its presence in the humanitarian sector through a new partnership with Gordian Travel International.

Pennsylvania-based Gordian specialises in serving the non-profit humanitarian, education and international development sectors.

In a statement, One Global said that Gordian was now its ¡°lead partner¡± in the humanitarian sector and the deal expands global access for One Global¡¯s members to Gordian¡¯s specialist services and market expertise.

The TMC network added that the new partnership would also allow humanitarian organisations to ¡°benefit from broader content access, as well as enhanced technology and tools that support traveller experience, travel management, duty of care and reporting¡±.

Jodie Gentles, managing director of One Global, said: ¡°Their [Gordian¡¯s] niche specialism and experience with the humanitarian sector will add significant value to our TMC community and will provide humanitarian organisations with an opportunity to manage their global travel programmes in a more effective way.¡±

One Global was launched in 2022 as a joint venture between UK-based Clarity and US partner World Travel Inc to create an ¡°international community¡± of TMCs.

¡°We are thrilled to enter into this partnership with One Global,¡± added Kim Tiberia, Gordian¡¯s chief operating officer.

¡°We understand the needs of the international humanitarian community, whose missions will now benefit from a unique approach that blends our market expertise, our partner¡¯s regional knowledge, and enabling centralisation of global travel programme elements such as data visibility, programme performance, traveller tracking and account management.¡±
