Travel Online has announced a strategic partnership with Kanoo Travel, a division of Youssef bin Ahmed Kanoo Group, to strengthen enterprise travel and expense management services in the Middle East. The partnership marks TravelTriangle’s first significant international expansion and combines its enterprise travel and expense management technology with Kanu Travel’s established presence in the region. The companies said the collaboration aims to create a scalable platform to serve one of the world’s fastest growing business travel markets. As part of the agreement, Kanu Travel will deploy Yatra’s integrated enterprise travel and expense management platform, which will enable corporate clients to manage travel bookings, policy compliance, expense management, automation and analytics through a single integrated system.
