Kopetro Travel & Tours, a subsidiary wholly-owned by Koperasi Kakitangan PETRONAS Berhad, announced that the international network of corporate travel experts, WIN Global Travel Network, has been renamed The Advantage Global Network.

John Hobbs-Hurrell formerly head of WIN Global Travel Network and now Head of The Advantage Global Network said: “The rebrand will help to create a wider reach and drive additional opportunities exposure to our international partners who will find, through the increased brand exposure, more engagement with Advantage Global Business Travel members bringing about new opportunities and prospects available to them. The network will continue to provide a connected community of TMCs around the world, which we will continue to focus on and grow following the rebrand.”
