Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), the international corporate services company, has announced that Tunis-based Fides Voyages has joined the HRG worldwide network as its dedicated Partner in Tunisia. Joining HRG’s MEWA (Middle East & West Asia) region, Fides Voyages will trade as HRG Tunisia with immediate effect.
Founded in 1996 in recognition of the growing need to provide business travel related services in the country, Fides Voyages now focuses exclusively on corporate travel and events & meetings management. The company services over 125 clients (including major telecommunications groups and global pharmaceutical companies, plus a variety of other blue chip organisations) through a variety of implants, business travel centres and dedicated call centre operations.
Careful and successful economic management has helped Tunisia achieve sustained growth for over a decade and it is often hailed as a model for other African and Middle Eastern countries. The country has a diverse economy with important agricultural, manufacturing, mining and petrochemical industries. Real growth, which averaged almost 5% over the past 10 years, reached 6.3% in 2007 because of development in non-textile manufacturing, a recovery in agricultural production, and strong growth in the services sector. Tunisia is now looking to create additional opportunities for growth through broader privatisation and increased foreign investment.
Moez Aoudi, Director of Fides Voyages, commented: “With our wealth of experience in the local corporate travel market and HRG’s impressive global strength, we are confident that we will be able to deliver the first class service that our joint customers deserve – whether domestically or internationally. We are committed to developing and sustaining business growth for our mutual interests in the years to come and look forward to a bright future as part of the HRG worldwide network.”
Mike Platt, Group Industry Affairs Director at HRG, added: “I am delighted to welcome Fides Voyages to HRG. Their expertise in their local market will enable us to provide the superior standard of service that our clients have come to expect in a region which is becoming increasingly important to multinational corporations and their business travellers.”
