Magic Event 2: PATA Mart 2008
HYDERABAD – Perhaps feeling the heat of the upcoming ITB Asia in Singapore next month, PATA’s bugles were hailing PATA Mart 2008 in glowing terms yesterday under the headline “Magic Mart Opens in Dynamic Hyderabadâ€.
“Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh are proving themselves to be outstanding hosts,” said PATA president and CEO Peter de Jong.
“I know the 1,089 professionals who made the effort to come to Hyderabad will be inspired by the welcome, the people they meet, and the insights they gain, and will return home knowing they’ve attended a world-class event,” he added
PATA Chair Janice Antonson enthused, “That is the magic of this premier event. It is why PATA Travel Mart gets rave reviews from delegates wherever it is hosted.”
And de Jong added, “The Mart is possibly the most productive and enjoyable three days in the annual events calendar for many of our delegates.
“In many ways, the Mart is a reflection of the dynamism, diversity, and strength of Asia Pacific, including India, which is one of the shining stars.â€
