Altour_with you all the way

We’re proud to share some exciting news from our global network. Travel Leaders Corporate and ALTOUR, both part of the Internova Travel Group, are merging under the unified ALTOUR brand. This rebranding signifies more than just a change in name—it’s a leap forward in enhancing the services and solutions we provide to our valued clients.

Our Executive Director, Michael Chase-Smith, recently attended the ALTOUR Global Forum and Travel Advisory Board Meeting in Orlando, where global leaders gathered to celebrate achievements, share insights, and discuss the transformative rebranding initiative under the Internova Travel Group umbrella. The forum highlighted the incredible progress made in 2024, with 2025 poised to bring even greater innovation and opportunity.

“Our commitment to our global partners remains our top priority,” said Nigel Parkinson, Senior Vice President, Global Markets, for ALTOUR. “This merger and rebranding initiative marks a new era of growth, innovation and success for our company.”

While ALTOUR have unveiled a new visual design and messaging, the merger represents more than simply a change of name and logo. Parkinson added, “It’s a reflection of our new, unified identity and renewed commitment to excellence. We are committed to building a cohesive and inclusive culture that values every team member’s contribution and fosters creativity.”
