ATPI Singapore took home top honours in a category that awards the travel management company offering seamless, scalable travel solutions for multinational corporations and global enterprises. The award winner provides integrated travel services across multiple regions and manages intricate travel needs while ensuring cost efficiency, security and an outstanding experience for business travellers worldwide.
The inaugural TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards Asia 2025 programme acknowledges the pinnacle of excellence in the travel industry and spotlights key players that consistently redefine industry standards and elevate customer experiences. It honours industry leaders who push boundaries through groundbreaking technologies, sustainable practices and unparalleled service.
The win reinforces ATPI’s standing as a long-time global leader in corporate and specialist travel management.
The company was acquired by Direct Travel in September 2025, creating a powerhouse that combines worldwide strength with personal service and bringing unmatched expertise and a client-first culture across 100 countries that drive over USD 6 billion in annual travel volume.
“This award reflects our continuous commitment to delivering leading-class travel management services with a deep emphasis on innovation, personalised services and an unerring adaptability to evolving industry trends,” said

Accomplishments that redefine business travel
ATPI specialises in delivering innovative, highly bespoke solutions across various industries, including corporate, marine, energy, sports, group travel and event management. Its service philosophy of “big enough to matter, small enough to care” sets new benchmarks in consistency and service.
The company’s Net Promoter Score of 53.67, exceptional SLA response times within 90 minutes for email requests and a 14-second average phone pick-up outperform the industry standard. These components are supported by a high staff retention of 98%, which preserves long-standing expertise.
Innovation at ATPI is not an add-on but a strategic backbone, designed to reimagine how global enterprises manage travel at scale. These purpose-built solutions, utilising technology that is integrated, intuitive and aligned to how organisations operate, address the most persistent pain points in business travel – complexity, risk management, sustainability and user adoption.
These include
Avenir: Travel Edition, the industry’s first truly open, all-in-one SaaS booking platform transforming global travel management from the ground up. The platform’s impact has been recognised across the industry, landing it on Business Travel Magazine’s 2025 Tech Hotlist, standing out among 15 recipients as a travel tech innovation genuinely shaking up the sector.
Other specialised proprietary platform ecosystems include
ATPI TravelHub, a single global gateway to unify all aspects of travel management;
CrewHub and
CrewLink for seamless, end-to-end crew travel management; and
ATPI Traveller Tracking System, which anticipates disruptions before they escalate by overlaying location data with geopolitical, weather and transport intelligence.
The industry’s most accurate travel carbon calculator, ATPI Halo, meanwhile, keeps sustainability front and centre by using actual flight data rather than carbon impact estimates at the point of booking to allow for more responsible choices before tickets are purchased.
ATPI’s philosophy towards innovation is proactive rather than reactive, where challenges are anticipated, disruptions prevented and strategic priorities embedded into everyday travel. This combination of technology, responsibility and traveller wellbeing is where the company sets industry milestones.
During regional unrest in Asia, for instance, their
Traveller Tracking System proactively identified at-risk travellers, rerouted them and informed client teams before the crisis escalated, turning what could have been a major disruption into a minor itinerary adjustment.
The Global Travel Management Company of the Year award is a testament to ATPI Singapore’s ability to manage global programmes while emphasising the individuals behind every booking. This deep-seated commitment to operational excellence, customer experience and traveller wellbeing enables the company to provide global services with seamless consistency across borders and deliver the responsiveness and local knowledge that complex operations demand.
