QG Turismo

What QG Turismo does

QG Turismo is a privately held Brazilian Travel Management Company (TMC) founded in 2002, headquartered in São Caetano do Sul with operating offices across São Paulo state (São Paulo-SCS, Campinas, Jundiaí, São José dos Campos, Sorocaba) and an international presence in Canada. The company delivers full-service corporate travel management — flight reservations, hotel bookings, car rentals, travel documentation assistance, foreign currency exchange, and 24/7 emergency support — alongside a secondary leisure travel offering. Its core client base comprises 720+ corporate accounts, with the company reporting over $340 million in cumulative travel services sold and 130,000+ e-tickets issued.

The technology stack centers on a hybrid human-plus-platform model: dedicated corporate travel consultants are paired with self-booking platform integrations (WTS Corporate, eFácil Plus, T-Travel/TTravel GDS) for client-initiated reservations, and a proprietary "Savings by QG" cost-analysis tool built on Microsoft Power BI delivers expense tracking and financial reporting to contracted clients. Ancillary systems include the Távola (ficopola.net) backoffice for administrative and financial management, and a client portal (QG Portal do Cliente). The company is IATA-accredited and CADASTUR-registered, holding LGPD compliance under Brazilian data protection law with a designated Data Protection Officer.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees and supplier commissions on corporate travel bookings (airlines, hotels, car rentals), supplemented by recurring subscription-equivalent access to the BI/Savings by QG analytics platform and transaction fees on foreign currency exchange. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per corporate account; no public pricing is disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales combined with self-service booking technology, supported by direct WhatsApp Business and digital channels (website, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) for brand presence and lead capture. QG Turismo remains founder-owned and operated with no disclosed external investors, M&A activity, or recapitalization events.

Broad incumbents

• Egencia (Expedia Group): Egencia is Expedia Group's corporate travel platform, offering TMC services with integrated booking, expense reporting, and analytics to corporate clients. It overlaps with QG on the mid-market corporate TMC value proposition while leveraging Expedia's consumer travel inventory.
• BCD Travel: BCD Travel is one of the world's largest corporate travel management companies, serving multinational clients across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. QG competes in the same end-to-end corporate TMC niche for Brazilian mid-market accounts, though BCD operates globally with broader scale and deeper negotiated supplier agreements.
• FCM Travel Solutions: FCM is the corporate travel division of Flight Centre, operating in over 100 countries including Brazil with hybrid human/technology service model. QG and FCM both target corporate clients with regional account management plus self-booking, analytics, and 24/7 support.
• American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT): Amex GBT is a global corporate travel management leader operating in over 140 countries, including Brazil. It competes directly with QG for mid-market and enterprise corporate accounts by offering GDS-based booking tools, expense management, and centralized reporting—directly mirroring QG's core service stack.
• CWT (Carson Wagonlit Travel): CWT is a long-established global TMC serving corporate clients worldwide, including in Latin America. Like QG, CWT combines dedicated account management with technology-enabled booking and reporting, making it a relevant large-scale counterpart in the corporate travel space where QG operates.

Regional players

• Serur Travel: Serur is a regional Brazilian corporate travel agency serving mid-market and enterprise clients across multiple states, competing head-to-head with QG for São Paulo corporate accounts. It offers comparable full-service TMC capabilities including negotiated rates, self-booking, and expense reporting.
• Decolar.com (Brazil): Decolar is a major Latin American OTA owned by Despegar, operating in Brazil with both leisure and corporate travel offerings. While primarily consumer-focused, Decolar competes for travel budget within the same Brazilian corporate accounts QG serves, particularly on price-sensitive bookings.
• CVC Brasil Corp (CVC Corp Viagens Corporativas): CVC Corp is the Brazilian corporate travel arm of CVC, one of Latin America's largest travel companies. It operates directly in the same Brazilian mid-market and enterprise corporate travel space as QG, with national branch presence and a similar full-service TMC offering including self-booking tools.

Direct peers

• Corporate Traveler (Flight Centre): Corporate Traveler specializes in SME and mid-market corporate accounts with dedicated consultants and technology-enabled booking—a directly comparable business model to QG's mid-market focus. Both operate hybrid TMC models combining human service with self-booking platforms.

Emerging players

• Navan (formerly TripActions): Navan is a fast-growing corporate travel and expense platform serving mid-market and enterprise clients globally with self-service-first booking and integrated expense management. QG competes for the same corporate accounts with a similar BI/reporting emphasis, though Navan leads on consumer-grade UX and NDC-direct content.
