“Over the past decade, the Asia Pacific region has become the largest business travel region in the world,” Nino Gruettke, executive director of ITB Asia, said in a statement. “This mutually beneficial partnership with GBTA will expose our delegates to the latest industry trends and opportunities and will also help us leverage the extensive networks of business, government and travel trade contacts to attract even more experts and key industry players.”
Welf Ebeling, GBTA vice president, operations, Asia, said that as GBTA has worked in tandem with ITB Asia “for many years” and has watched the show “evolve into a must-attend event for the Asian travel trade industry.” The partnership will leverage the global platform through multiple co-located events and initiatives during the trade show.
