Their combined sales are more than $6 billion, a figure that would have had them approaching the top 10 in Travel Weekly 2025 Power List of the largest travel sellers in the world. Separately, Direct Travel was #13 and ATPI #18, based on 2024 sales figures. For context, Amex GBT did $30.5 billion in sales in 2024, and that’s before acquiring CWT this year.
