ATPI’s Asian expansion strengthens global travel

Opens new offices in Shanghai, Taipei and Seoul

Travel and events solutions provider ATPI is accelerating its expansion across Asia to reinforce its commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing business travel markets.

With the Asian corporate travel market showing steady regional growth - valued at US$737.1 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $848.16 billion by 2025[1], ATPI is strategically reinforcing its footprint in mainland China, Taiwan and South Korea while expanding operations in India and Indonesia. 

This positions ATPI to lead in Asia’s fast-growing business travel sector, delivering advanced, tech-driven solutions tailored to the evolving needs of globally connected companies.

Asia’s rapid economic growth, rising demand for corporate travel, and increasingly sophisticated regional needs make it a critical strategic market for ATPI. 

The scaling-up supports the Manchester-headquartered company’s long-term vision to better serve both regional and international clients through a robust global network and local partnerships.

ATPI is increasing its presence in India with four new offices and one in Balikpapan, Indonesia. Strengthening its presence in these dynamic markets allows ATPI to deliver tailored travel solutions that support local businesses and multinational organisations through strong, regionally rooted alliances.

It operates across a variety of specialist sectors, with core service offerings in corporate travel, marine and energy and event management. Its customised products and vast expertise in sector-specific segments such as shipping, technology, power and construction will further benefit these new markets.

The company’s insights in tech-driven industries in mainland China, for example, will help boost travel demand in its AI, electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors. Taiwan is a technology-led, export-focused economy while South Korea is ranked sixth among 133 economies featured in the 2024 Global Innovation Index, making both markets ideal for corporate travel. 

In Indonesia, the new office in Balikpapan positions ATPI in the heart of the oil, gas, and mining industries, while Chennai’s expansion taps into Southern India’s booming IT sector.

The expansion is also in line with ATPI’s continuing investment in its commitment to provide seamless, client-first travel and event management solutions for diverse industries. 

 “Our growth underlines ATPI’s longstanding commitment to Asia’s rapidly evolving travel and events landscape,” said Ali Hussain, Managing Director, ATPI Asia. 

“The new markets are of strategic importance as they permit us to fully cater to our regional clients, share our know-how on domestic market essentials and support them with customised, industry-leading solutions.”
