Association of Travel Management Companies

What Association of Travel Management Companies does

The Association of Travel Management Companies (ATMC) is an Australian non-profit trade association that represents and promotes the country's Travel Management Companies (TMCs). Incorporated as Association of Travel Management Companies Incorporated (ABN 68 991 640 417), ATMC is fully endorsed by the Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) and maintains close working relationships with the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA), as well as major travel industry suppliers including airlines, hotel companies, car rental providers, and financial services providers. Membership is restricted to fully licensed travel agencies with a core focus on Travel Management services to Corporate Customers, and ATMC publishes formal Association Rules that set codes of conduct and confidentiality standards to which all members are signatory.

ATMC's membership network collectively controls over $6.5B in corporate travel expenditure, employs approximately 3,500 professionals across Australia, and serves around 25,700 large and small companies nationwide. The association does not sell a technology product; instead, it provides membership services, industry advocacy, standards governance, and inter-member collaboration, including regular member forums and peer dialogue with supplier partners. Its leadership consists of a Chairperson (David Goldman of Goldman Group), Treasurer (Alan Wolf of Bay Travel Group), and Executive Director (Oliver Tams), supported by a board of representatives from major member TMCs including BCD Travel, Travel Trust, Gray Dawes Travel, Corporate Travel Management, Platinum Travel, and Connections Travel Group.

ATMC generates revenue through recurring membership dues from licensed TMCs; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed and prospective members are directed to contact the Executive Director. The organization operates from a postal-only address in Engadine, NSW, with a small staff of approximately 10 employees, and uses its website (atmc.net.au) as its primary digital presence for member recruitment, directory listings, and corporate outreach promoting the value of TMCs to the Australian business travel market.

Direct peers

• Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE): ACTE is a global non-profit association serving the corporate travel community with a focus on education, research, and networking for travel managers and TMCs. Its mission and member value proposition (standards, advocacy, professional development) closely mirror ATMC's role in Australia.
• Global Business Travel Association (GBTA): GBTA is the world's largest trade association for business travel and meetings, representing corporate travel buyers, suppliers, and TMCs. It is the most direct functional analog to ATMC, with a parallel mission of advancing the corporate travel industry through advocacy, education, standards, and member services — simply at a global rather than Australian scale.
• Institute of Travel Management (ITM): ITM is the UK membership association for corporate travel buyers and managers. It shares ATMC's focus on representing professionals who manage corporate travel, providing industry guidance, policy support, and supplier engagement — making it a close functional peer in a different geography.

Regional players

• ECTAA (European Travel Agents' and Tour Operators' Association): ECTAA represents travel agents and tour operators at the European Union level. It is a regional peer to ATMC in the sense of being a national/regional-level industry body performing advocacy, standards, and representation functions for travel intermediaries.

Others

• Corporate Travel Management (CTM): CTM is a major Australian-headquartered global TMC and a member of ATMC (board member Glenn Wilcox represents it). While not a trade association itself, it is the most prominent ATMC-member TMC and a key ecosystem participant whose interests ATMC directly represents.
• BCD Travel: BCD Travel is a leading global corporate travel management company and an ATMC member (board member Danielle Russom represents it). It is an important ecosystem participant whose interests and Australian operations ATMC is designed to support and represent.
• IATA (International Air Transport Association): IATA is the global trade association for airlines and a critical upstream counterparty for any TMC association. While much larger and focused on the supply side, IATA is comparable to ATMC as an industry-body peer shaping standards, policy, and supplier coordination that TMCs must navigate.

Emerging players

• Site (Society of Incentive & Travel Executives): Site is a global association focused on the incentive and corporate meetings/events segment of business travel. It is a partial peer to ATMC because it represents a specialized slice of corporate travel buyers and suppliers, with overlap in advocacy and education for travel professionals.

Broad incumbents

• Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA): ATIA is the broader Australian travel industry association that ATMC partners with. It serves as a comparable industry-body peer covering the wider Australian travel trade, with overlapping membership bases and a similar role in advocacy, accreditation, and industry development.
• Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA): AFTA is the national peak body for the Australian travel agent industry and the endorsing organization behind ATMC. It is comparable as a higher-level industry association that sets standards, advocates on policy, and represents travel agents more broadly — of which ATMC members are a specialized subset.
