Citigroup Adds Travelocity Business

Citigroup has selected Travelocity Business for a small portion of its travel management program, according to industry sources. They expect incumbent American Express to retain the vast majority of the business. Officials at Amex, TBiz and Citigroup refused to comment. Ranked number 12 on BTN's list of companies that spent the most on travel in 2003, Citigroup had an estimated U.S.-booked air volume of $143 million. It has been a heavy user of Sabre's GetThere booking technology and was a client of both American Express and Rosenbluth until the former bought the latter last year.
