TTG Asia Media’s TTGmice has clinched the 2013 PATA Gold Award’s Travel Journalism – Business Article Award for an article on sustainability efforts in Asia, affirming TTGmice’s claim as Asia-Pacific’s leading meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions resource.
Written by TTG Asia group editor Karen Yue, TTGmice’s July 2012 cover story A Brighter Shade of Green studies the Asia-Pacific MICE industry’s reception of environmentally-friendly facilities and practices, spotlighting notable green venues including the Cairns Convention Centre and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
“We are thrilled to have won this award,” said Yue. “More importantly, I hope this will inspire meeting planners to push for sustainability, and to pay greater attention to the efforts venues put into green facilities and practices.”
TTGmice had previously won the PATA Gold Award in 2011 and 2009 for the November 2010 cover story Rebuilding the team and September 2008 cover story, DMCs defined: The real knights of creativity, respectively.
This year’s PATA Gold Awards saw 165 entries from 60 PATA and non-PATA organisations around the world. The 18th year the PATA Gold Awards have been recognising industry achievements, the awards ceremony will take place at Jinjiang Hotel, Chengdu on September 15, before the PATA Travel Mart 2013.
