Expedia(R) Corporate Travel to launch full-service travel in China

The launch of service in China will mark ECT's first foray into the critical Asia-Pacific market. A dedicated local corporate travel team and call center are the first steps in a much larger strategy to meet the needs of its global client base. With the addition of China to its global offering, travel managers will be able to drive travel policy compliance across a broader range of markets.

"Our entry into the Asia-Pacific region is part of our commitment to grow with the needs of our customers," said Jean-Pierre Remy, president of Expedia Corporate Travel.

"Many of our existing customers and prospects already do business in China, so we have a clear opportunity to better service the needs of these clients by being where they need us to be."
