echo.bravo Joins Internova Travel Group: What It Means for Our Clients

6 August 2026  |  Uncategorized

In June 2026, echo.bravo became part of Internova Travel Group — one of the largest travel services companies in the world. This post explains what that means in practice: what Internova is, why it matters, and what changes — and what does not change — for the businesses we work with.

What Is Internova Travel Group?

Internova Travel Group is one of the world’s largest travel services companies, headquartered in New York City and operating in more than 80 countries. Named a Forbes Most Trusted brand in 2026, it represents more than 100,000 travel advisors across over 6,000 company-owned and affiliated locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Internova manages leisure, corporate and entertainment travel through a portfolio of leading brands, with UK presence including Global Travel Collection, ALTOUR and Barrhead Travel Group.

What This Means for echo.bravo Clients

Airline relationships and negotiated programmes
Internova’s scale gives it airline relationships and negotiated programmes that operate at a volume most independent travel management companies cannot access. For clients travelling on the UK-US corridor, this means access to rates, seat availability and upgrade pathways outside the publicly available fare structure.
Hotel programmes across the US and globally
Internova’s hotel programme covers properties across the US, Canada, the UK and internationally. For clients with regular US hotel spend — New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami — the programme provides preferred rates and guaranteed inventory not available through standard corporate rate negotiations for smaller volume buyers.
Global intelligence and early access
Internova’s network generates market intelligence — on route changes, fare movements, carrier capacity decisions — at a scale that gives early visibility before it appears in public channels. In a year like 2026, where fuel cost disruption and carrier surcharge increases moved fast, that intelligence has genuine commercial value.
24-hour support across time zones
The Internova network supports travellers globally, around the clock. For businesses whose teams travel the UK-US corridor, when disruption occurs at 11pm Eastern — a cancelled connection, a weather closure, a last-minute itinerary change — there is infrastructure behind the response.
Duty of care at scale
Internova’s duty of care infrastructure supports the tracking, communication and emergency response requirements that UK businesses have legal obligations to meet for their international travellers. For fast-growing businesses whose travel volume has outpaced their duty of care processes, joining echo.bravo’s programme means those obligations are met.

Internova Travel Group operates in more than 80 countries with over 100,000 travel advisors — a global network that echo.bravo clients now have access to.

“Joining Internova was not a decision about scale for its own sake. It was a decision about what we could give our clients that we could not give them alone. The airline access, the hotel programmes, the global intelligence, the 24-hour infrastructure — these are real, tangible improvements to what a client gets when they work with us. That is the only measure that matters.”

Chris Donovan, Founder, echo.bravo

What Does Not Change

The model that echo.bravo was built on — a premium, human-led travel management company for founders, leadership teams and fast-growing businesses — does not change. We are not a booking platform. We do not operate at volume for its own sake. The team, the approach, the direct relationship between our clients and the people managing their travel — none of that changes. What changes is what we can bring to that relationship.

Based in Reigate. Now in New York. Part of a Global Network.

echo.bravo is based in Reigate, Surrey. In June 2026 we opened our New York office, giving us presence on both sides of the transatlantic corridor we specialise in. As part of Internova Travel Group, we operate with the infrastructure of one of the world’s largest travel networks behind us. For UK businesses that travel to the US, and for American businesses whose teams visit the UK, that combination — local expertise, transatlantic presence and global reach — is what we offer now.

If you would like to understand what the Internova network means for your business travel programme, we are ready to talk.
