The BCD Group is a privately owned Dutch company focused on travel services and corporate travel management.[2]
History
BCD was founded in 1975 by John Fentener van Vlissingen as a real estate management company, Property Management Advisory Services,[3] with founding capital of US$10,000 and 2 employees. In 1976, van Vlissingen left his job at Pierson, Heldring & Pierson to focus exclusively on his company, which opened an office in Atlanta that year[1] and changed its name to Noro Management Inc. BCD became deeply involved in real estate development in the Atlanta metro area, including shopping malls and office complexes.[4]
In 1986, in anticipation of diversification, Noro was spun off and the remaining company was renamed BCD. The company entered the travel industry in 1987 with the acquisition of WorldTravel Advisors, an Atlanta-based travel management company,[3] and of off-airport parking operation Park 'N Fly in 1988.[1]
