We’re delighted to announce that ATPI, one of the world’s leading travel management companies, has appointed Hannon Travel as their affiliate in Ireland.
While remaining proudly independent, this affiliation enables us to extend our global reach through ATPI’s international network of more than 100 offices worldwide. Our clients will benefit from greater access to global airline partnerships, expanded regional coverage, specialist event management solutions, and even more preferential hotel rates, all provided by the same trusted team they book with today.
As Eimer Hannon, Owner and Managing Director, Hannon Travel noted:
“This isn’t about changing what we do at Hannon Travel; it’s about delivering more options to our clients and faster entry into emerging markets. While we remain Irish-owned and independent – we’re also really proud to be appointed by one of the world’s leading TMCs as their affiliate in Ireland.”
ATPI, a Direct Travel company, is a global leader in travel and event management, delivering specialist expertise across energy, marine, mining, sports, media, and corporate travel. With 24/7 support, advanced booking and duty-of-care technology, and a commitment to sustainability, ATPI partners with local TMCs like Hannon Travel whose approach and capabilities are aligned. Following its acquisition by longstanding partner Direct Travel in 2025, ATPI continues to scale its global operations through organic growth, local affiliates and continues to advance its sector‑specific solutions.
“From our first meeting with Hannon Travel, we knew it was the right fit for us in Ireland. Their focus on customer service, 24/7 approach, and extensive network make them a great partner and local affiliate.” – Michel Habich, International Network Director, ATPI
Looking Ahead
The timing of this announcement comes ahead of the ATPI Partner Conference on 25th March in Dublin, where we will join fellow affiliates from around the world to discuss evolving travel trends, sustainability priorities, and technology advancements in corporate travel.
This affiliation enhances our ability to support clients with seamless international travel management, backed by ATPI’s global infrastructure and Direct Travel’s industry-leading capabilities, all while preserving the independent, responsive service Hannon Travel is known for.
