Exton-based World Travel Inc. has launched a joint venture with U.K. company Clarity Travel Management, writes Jamie Biesiada for Travel Weekly. 

The new company, One Global Travel, unites travel management companies across the globe in a “community” that can better service clients in local marketplaces. World Travel and Clarity have a 50 percent stake each in the venture. 

Members of One Global Travel will help service clients in their local language and offer local GDS content. The advantage is that they will just have to enter a contract with World Travel. 

“Our commitment to each other is that we’re not in this to make money for a Radius or an American Express,” said Michael Farrell, World Travel executive vice president of business development and marketing. 

The goal is to use the strength of each company to “make money, but for ourselves,” he added. “That’s why it’s a community, because as one, World Travel cannot serve our customers globally without this community.” 

World Travel is hoping to grow One Global Travel to include between 20 and 25 members worldwide. The company already has members from six continents.
