History
CWT has existed in its present form since 1994, the result of a merger of two large travel agencies: the Carlson Travel Network (originally called the Ask Mr. Foster Travel Agency) and the travel agency division of Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, founded by Georges Nagelmackers in 1872 in Belgium and acquired by Accor in 1991.[3]
