Acquisitions Boost CWT's '04 Top Line

Carlson Wagonlit Travel last year grew revenues 6 percent to $1.2 billion, partly driven by acquisitions of Maritz Corporate Travel in St. Louis, ONboard in Germany and Protravel in France. Revenues rose in Europe by 7 percent to $772 million, fell in Canada and the United States by 1 percent to $314million and grew 13 percent in other countries to $118 million, based on financial figures issued last week by CWT half-owner Accor.
