AirPlus turns to China for business travel growth

BEIJING - AirPlus International, a global business travel management services company, hopes to accelerate growth in China, one of its fastest growing markets, in a move designed to help it recoup losses incurred during the global economic downturn.

"Expansion of our presence in China is a strategic priority and our competitive advantage during the downturn has enabled us to continue to increase our investments here," said AirPlus President Patrick Diemer.

Diemer declined to give specific details on investment or expansion plans for China.
