There’s an impressive line-up of buyers and sellers attending PATA Travel Mart 2009 in Hangzhou China (PRC). The travel and tourism industry is recognising the value of participating in the region’s premier contracting and business networking event – with the numbers of buyers now registered for PTM up by an impressive 70 per-cent compared to the same period in 2008.
“We are also very impressed with the quality of our sellers for PTM 2009 with over 50 percent of available floor space now booked,” says PATA Events Director Sheila Leong. “It’s clear that we’ve made the right decision in staging this year’s Mart in Hangzhou. We’re enjoying fantastic support from our hosts in this beautiful city and we are also very fortunate to have the backing of the China National Tourism Administration.”
CNTA Chairman Shao Qiwei has affirmed his commitment to strengthening collaborative ties with PATA to ‘facilitate prosperous tourism development in the region’. The CNTA has also called upon all 31 provinces across the PRC to join their participation in this year’s PATA Travel Mart.
