THE 2013 PATA Annual Summit will be held at the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre from April 25-28.
During the one-day summit, speakers from both the public and private sectors will address the Embracing the Complete Visitor Economy theme by sharing their insights on the considerable impact as well as social and economic reach of the visitor economy.
“International visitor arrivals statistics do not tell the full story,” said PATA CEO, Martin Craigs. “We need politicians to fully understand the importance of the visitor economy as a force for social and economic good.”
He added: “The response to the summit concept from leading government and private enterprise members and our own executive board has been very encouraging. The summit will break new ground and help build business in all sectors. PATA is finalising an impressive speaker list and will make a further announcement shortly.”
Registration for the 2013 PATA Annual Summit is now open. Fees are priced at US$699 per person for PATA members, US$899 for chapter members and US$1,299 for non-members. Special rates for young tourism professionals and students apply.
Meanwhile, the PATA Youth Forum will take place at Thammasat University on April 25, while the PATA board meetings and AGM will be held on April 27-28 respectively.
