The Acendas Advantage

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of BCD, Acendas Travel possesses a distinct advantage in the marketplace. By leveraging BCD’s cutting-edge technology and substantial buying power, we offer unmatched savings to our clients. This enables our clients to benefit from the purchasing power of one of the largest travel management companies, while still enjoying the personalized service of a boutique agency. 

We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional boutique-centered service, characterized by our expertise in travel, personalized customer focus, and meticulous attention to detail. Furthermore, we harness BCD’s purchasing strength to provide significant savings, utilize their technological resources to enhance efficiency, and leverage their global presence to ensure comprehensive coverage. 

BCD Travel - Acendas Travel Partnership Provides Our Clients with Added Savings, Resources & Peace of Mind

In 2001, Acendas Travel began a partnership with BCD Travel, the world’s third largest buyer of corporate travel with a presence of 3,200 global locations. The focus of the relationship was to share buying power and technology assets and enhance our corporate travel services. While BCD Travel targets larger multinational business entities, Acendas Travel’s niche is the small to medium enterprise (SME) with annual travel spends of $250,000 to $25 million annually.

Since the partnership began, the Acendas Travel – BCD Travel relationship has developed from a simple exchange of resources to a collaborative platform to best serve clients. In fact, Acendas Travel is now a wholly owned subsidiary of BCD Travel.

What does that mean for your business? It means that Acendas Travel  and BCD Travel are working together to provide:

  • The resources of a global Travel Management Company (TMC) delivered via Acendas Travel's boutique approach (personalized and nimble service).
  • The access to volume discounts companies would otherwise not receive.
  • Innovative traveler assistance technologies.

Our Niche: the Small to Medium Enterprise

In forming the partnership, BCD Travel designated Acendas Travel as its Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) brand for managed travel. That means we offer superior corporate travel services with a nimbleness and a personalized approach. Under this umbrella, we serve companies with an annual travel budget (air, hotel, and rental car) of $250,000 to $25 million.  Also, our relationship allows us to deliver to mid-market companies an optimal level of service that would not occur through the world’s three largest travel providers.

Also, this approach provided Acendas Travel with open access to a wealth of knowledge and global consolidation expertise associated with a worldwide network that includes: 

  • 1,300 locations across the United States
  • 3,200-plus offices worldwide
  • Purchasing leverage of annual revenues that exceed $26 billion
