IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific 2013 to be Largest To-Date

This year's instalment of IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific is set to be the biggest yet, with delegate numbers expected to cross the 2,800 mark.

Bringing together Asia-Pacific’s MICE and corporate travel suppliers, with an added luxury travel dimension, the world’s only doublebill event will run from October 1 to 3 in Bangkok.

To-date, more than 700 MICE, corporate travel, luxury travel, association and corporate buyers have completed registration, which ends on August 23.

Returning buyer Ben Gosman, managing director, Netherlands-based Free Style, said: “I look forward to discussing and exploring new experiences and business opportunities each time I listen. The promise of new exhibitors, like with this year’s show, and the ease of touching base with existing partners justify why IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific is a must-attend event for me.”

Furthermore, exhibitors at this year’s IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific will be comprised of 35 per cent first-time exhibitors. Debuting CVBs include India Tourism, Fukuoka CVB, Sapporo CVB and Tourism New Zealand, while first-time corporates include Fujita Kanko, MeliĆ” Hotels International and Sentosa Leisure Management, among others.

A survey conducted in April 2013 stated that US$45 million in sales was confirmed as a result of the 2012 event, with the aggregate procurement value estimated at US$120 million.

A number of features will also make their debut at this year's show, including an online diary, an Association Day & Performance Improvement Forum, and a luxury post-show tour.
