Bangkok. IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific 2012 delegates had a power packed day at Bangkok Convention Centre today as business appointments commenced. Buyers from around the world flooded the exhibition hall to meet with exhibiting companies from across Asia-Pacific. The registration desk also saw a steady stream of Trade Visitors registering for the show, minutes after the registration opened. With choc-a-bloc appointment schedule sheets, delegates are happy with the quantity and quality of their appointments.
Buyers at the event are similarly pleased with companies exhibiting this year. Said buyer Ms. Hema Chhabria, Proprietor of In-Time Travel, India said, “We are getting into the MICE space, handling small groups of high-end clients and offering customised service solutions to meet their needs. IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific offers us a great platform to source for destinations and services that fit the bill.” Mr. Ben Gosman, President of Free Style Incentives, Netherlands said, “This is my fifth time at the event. This is a good show for me and a great platform to meet up with industry friends and suppliers. The show is always well organised.”
The education component of the event also goes into full steam as the IT&CMA and CTW Asia-Pacific seminars and conference commenced. These sessions are scheduled in a way that allows delegates to attend them without it interfering with their business appointments. CTW Asia-Pacific this year has a revised format. With focus on creating value and providing more comprehensive content, these sessions, previously an hour long, are now 1.5 hours in duration. Today’s sessions were conducted by 12 leading professionals from the industry.
