Join UsOur History
More than 40 years ago U. Gary Charlwood, from Vancouver, Canada, decided the travel industry could use a change. It was time to apply a franchising model to the Travel Management industry. Charlwood applied his prior experience from the tourism industry, and franchising success in Real Estate into developing one of the largest Travel Management Companies in the world.
Charlwood wanted to allow agents to develop strong networks with each other, and further connect the world globally. He wanted to do all this while building local, personalized relationships with travelers.
UNIGLOBE Travel International opened its doors in 1979. The first franchise following shortly after in 1981. Through the 80’s more offices opened across North America, spreading into Europe in the 1990’s and grew to the global scale that UNIGLOBE is known for today.
Our Future
Today, UNIGLOBE travel management companies (TMCs) and Global Partners serve small-to-mid-size corporate accounts and vacation travelers in more than 60 countries, with annual system-wide sales of approximately $5 billion.
UNIGLOBE continues to look for strategic expansion opportunities worldwide in its ongoing quest to be the brand of choice for its primary target market of business travelers. Our portfolio has grown to consist of many brands, including Global Solutions, which focuses on the travel needs of multi-national companies.
As we adapt and evolve to the fast change in the industry our top priority is to maintain quality travel management. Most importantly, we ensure your requests are met beyond expectations.
