SYDNEY: TNS Australia has broadened its focus on the tourism and leisure sector with its acquisition of the Travel Research Centre (TRC), based in Sydney.

The TRC also provides services to the broader private and public travel and leisure sector in Australia, on projects as diverse as market segmentation, customer satisfaction and advertising evaluation.
