Memberships and Associations

Advantage & Focus Travel Partnership

The Focus Partnership was launched in 1999 and has become widely recognised as an award-winning, forward-thinking network of 50+ independent Travel Management Companies. Together, we have a combined turnover in excess of 1 billion pounds per year, which creates enormous collective buying power and a valuable pool of business acumen from which Partners can provide benefit to their clients. Advantage & Focus membership is restricted to fully licensed and bonded independent travel agencies.

The combined buying power of the Advantage & Focus Travel Partnerships makes us part of the largest independent TMC organisations in the UK, with worldwide links through the further partnership with our Worldwide International Network in over 10 countries. This allows us to offer the full range of fares, rates and services normally associated with the largest Travel Management Companies. Combined with the independent personal service provided by our company, this makes us unique in the corporate market.
