Dear Pronabda
 
As you are aware PATA Travel Mart is being held at Jakarta, Indonesia from 7-9 September, 2016, after a very successful Mart at Bengaluru last year.
 
PATA Travel Mart is the premium B2B Travel Event in Asia Pacific and attracts quality buyers and sellers. India has always had a sizeable presence of both Buyers & Sellers at PTM.
Having a past participant at PTM and being a former PATA India Chapter EC Member, I think you are well versed with the value of participation in this event.
 
India Tourism has already blocked space for its pavillion at PATA Travel Mart. I am furnishing below the communication we have recently sent to our membership encouraging Members to participate.
PATA India Chapter Members enjoy a preferred rate over non Members. Fundamentally there are 3 options for Sellers :
 
1. Minimum size of 9 sq M shell space booth
2. Minimum size of 18 sq M Raw space booth
3. Micro enterprise booths
 
By means of this email, I request you, in your capacity as President Indian Association of Tour Operators, to communicate this information to your membership and encourage them to participate in PATA Travel Mart

PTM showcases travel products and services from the Asia Pacific regional market, drawing interest from a broad cross-section of experienced, pre-qualified buyers. PTM 2016 takes place at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) and is kindly hosted by the Ministry of Tourism, Republic of Indonesia in partnership with Banten Province and PATA Indonesia Chapter.
