Carlson Wagonlit Travel
 PROFILE
Carlson Wagonlit Travel did not get its middle name from Indians trying to explain to pioneers that their covered wagons were on fire. The company is descended from both the creator of the Orient Express (Wagons-Lits) and the oldest US travel agency chain (Ask Mr. Foster). It manages business travel from more than 3,000 travel offices worldwide. The company is the #2 travel firm in the world behind American Express. It is co-owned by the US firm Carlson Companies (whose US leisure and franchise operations also fall under the Carlson Wagonlit brand) and France's Accor Group. Carlson Wagonlit has locations in more than 140 countries.
