Milford-based Atlas Travel has acquired United Travel Inc. of Tewksbury, Atlas Travel & Technology Group announced Thursday.
It is the third acquisition in less than five years for Atlas Travel, which bought Horizon Travel in 2011 and Angora Travel in 2014.
“United has a well-deserved reputation for integrity and service excellence in the local community, and we are honored to have the opportunity to perpetuate their tradition,” Elaine Osgood, president and CEO of Atlas Travel, said in the statement.
The statement said the merger is expected to benefit clients of both travel management companies, with United’s clients gaining access to more services, advanced travel technology, and increased buying power. Atlas said travel agents added from United would predominantly serve leisure clients and handle corporate bookings.
