Asia-Pacific. Over the past two decades the event’s impressive growth has
mirrored that of the MICE industry. Industry professionals from around the
world eagerly await the celebrations of this milestone. Additionally, the
excitement around IT&CMA and CTW 2012 is in no small part due to the newly
added luxury travel component of the show. This strategic move to expand the
event to include luxury travel will give Buyers and Corporate Travel Managers the
opportunity to concurrently source for products and services to meet the
demands of their up-market clientele. Likewise, exhibitors with luxury
offerings can now capitalize on the enhanced showcase and buying potential at
the event.
