FCm Travel Solutions has extended its partnership with the company’s Romanian affiliate, Happy Tour Group, to open a new office in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia.

Global travel management company (TMC) FCm first partnered with Happy Tour Group in 2009 to establish operations in Romania. Now the TMC has expanded its partner agreement to offer local business travel services in Bulgaria.

FCm’s new South East European office is located in the MHQ building in the city’s central business district.

FCm Bulgaria will be dedicated to the corporate travel market and offer end-to-end travel and account management services to companies across a range of industries including pharmaceutical, finance and banking, construction and marine and offshore firms.

“With Happy Tour Group already being a member of our global network, the growth of the FCm brand and business within the Bulgarian market is expected to progress quickly. FCm Bulgaria will benefit from working closely with their colleagues in Romania, who have an excellent understanding of FCm’s network and our clients,” said General Manager of FCm’s European network, Franziskus Bumm. “South East Europe is a critical market for FCm globally so it’s great to see we’re boosting our local services in the region.”

Javier Garcia del Valle, Happy Tour Group CEO, said “We see a lot of domestic travel to the east of Bulgaria to places like Ruse, which is a key river port for the country’s international trade. There’s also a high volume of travel to the UK, Germany and Austria as many multinational companies have their European headquarters in these countries ... We’ve seen an increasing number of companies that have their head offices in Romania extend their operations to Bulgaria which has increased travel volumes over the border. There is also demand for specialist marine and offshore travel services in Bulgaria as well as travel management specific to the mining and resource industries.”
