FHTglobal

What FHTglobal does

FHTglobal is a private, international group travel and event housing services company founded in 1996 and operating as a division of ATS Group, a diversified travel and tourism conglomerate that also includes Brook Green and ATS Travel. The company serves as the official international hotel and travel services agency for approximately ten major medical, professional, and tradeshow associations, including AAD, ATS, AUA, BIO, CHEST, ENDO, IASLC, IFT, NRF, and SPIE. Its core service is managing the complete travel experience of international delegates attending these association congresses — hotel accommodation with negotiated rates, airport transfers, group dining, transportation, tours, cocktail receptions, and onsite event support — delivered through a customizable "a la carte" package model that lets guests pay only for the services they select.

FHTglobal works either directly with hotels or in coordination with the official congress housing agency (Conference Direct, OnPeak, or Maritz, depending on the event) to secure room blocks. The company maintains a multi-region operating footprint spanning the United States (Hallandale Beach HQ, Washington D.C., New York), Europe (Monte Carlo EU HQ, Barcelona, Belgrade, Florence, Turin), and Asia Pacific (Singapore). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through negotiated hotel rates, service fees, and package pricing on a per-event basis.

On the technology side, FHTglobal operates the FHTvirtual platform, a virtual events tool designed to support sponsors hosting international guests at global congresses and to enable community building and hyper-local interaction between sponsors and their invited delegates. A second platform, reserveyourhotel.at, extends the company's housing management capabilities to events of any size globally. The firm also offers a travel emissions calculator and carbon offset program in partnership with a UK-based sustainability company. The company is privately held, has 11–50 employees, and reports no external funding, acquisitions, or public market activity in the available data.
