ATPI Group has launched a fully-integrated, end-to-end travel management platform for the African market.
Booking Africa Online (ATPI BOA) is an African-centric travel management tool allowing travellers globally to book and manage flights, hotels, charters and ground transportation across Africa and further afield within a single platform.
Regional Managing Director for Australia, New Zealand & Africa at ATPI, Peter Muller, said: “Africa is one of the most dynamic and diverse regions in the world, yet much of the continent has historically been underserved when it comes to booking solutions and connectivity.

With extensive coverage across 28 countries in the region, we are proud to help our customers worldwide unlock Africa’s potential as a connected, accessible, and high-growth travel market.”

Managing Director, Africa at ATPI, Pam Kitching, added: “With ATPI BAO, we’re not just simplifying travel management, we’re empowering our clients to move across the continent more seamlessly, securely and with confidence, knowing they are in reliable hands.”
