History

[edit]

In 1989, Reed International (now RELX) acquired Travel Weekly, Meetings & Conventions and the hotel databases from Murdoch Magazines and formed Reed Travel Group.[8][9] In 1998, Reed Travel Group was renamed Cahners Travel Group.

In 2001, Boston Ventures acquired Cahners Travel Group and renamed it Northstar Travel Group.[10][11][12] In 2012, Boston Ventures Investment Partners sold the company to Wicks Group.[13]

In October 2019, three years after being acquired by Wasserstein & Co.,[5] the company purchased travAlliancemedia, owner of TravelPulse.com and TravelPulse Canada, Buying Business Travel, covering the corporate travel market, and CAT Media, which serves the meetings and incentives industries.[7]

In October 2025, it was announced that Japan's JTB Corporation had completed its acquisition of NTG.[3][2]
