Direct Travel Pricing, Plans & Alternatives (2026)

Overview

Direct Travel is a US travel management company that in September 2025 acquired the ATPI Group, its long-standing partner, to form what ATPI describes as a new global travel management powerhouse.^[11] The combination brings together Direct Travel’s corporate-travel business with ATPI’s specialist divisions, which have served the maritime industry for more than a century.^[11]

ATPI’s sector brands, now operating within the combined group, cover corporate travel, marine travel, energy travel, mining travel, yacht crew travel, sports travel, events and so-called gateway solutions for travel in complex countries.^[11] ATPI says it is trusted by more than 3,000 clients worldwide.^[11] This specialisation matters for companies that move crews to vessels or remote sites, where itineraries change at short notice and visas, port agents and marine fares require specific expertise.

Direct Travel is therefore a strong option for companies whose travel is operational rather than discretionary. Its limitations are that the integration of two sizeable TMCs is recent, that Direct Travel publishes little financial information, and that pricing is negotiated. Its corporate website was not reachable when this list was compiled, so details come from ATPI’s pages.^[11]
