Set up in 1991, Lufthansa City Center is one of the fastest growing travel agency chains in Europe. The international network is becoming more and more important due to the continuing globalisation and concentration in the market.

A close cooperation with South African Airways City Center, the third biggest travel agency chain in South Africa (145 travel agencies in 11 African countries),completes our extensive international network. With this co-operation the three partner companies combine a total turnover of more than 12 billion, generated in more than 2.200 offices in 70 countries world-wide. The aim of this co-operation is to "combine the best of all worlds", which means to offer the joint customers a constant international and global service through common reporting and joint acquisition and customer account treatments. To support this target, a common global product and service portfolio for corporate travellers has been established, which is called GLOBAL PLUS. Existing products and services offered to the coporate traveller are currently being brought to one common international basis.

The main aspects of GLOBAL PLUS are global MIS Reporting, a joint hotel programme, the implementation of common quality standards on a global basis and 24 hour availability to ensure a constant high service level throughout the whole world.
