THE annual ATF 2016 has attracted the interest of some 170 media comprising editors, journalists, writers, reporters and editorial representatives from 38 countries. Applicants hail from a wide range of titles including travel trade, leisure tourism, sports, adventure, aviation, MICE, corporate travel and general news across print, web and broadcast media.
Just four months away, the international event that features the largest collection of ASEAN tourism products and services will see some 100 hosted media from around the world join 50 local media from the Philippines from January 20 to 22 to cover the latest travel developments that the region has to offer. Official media sessions include the tourism ministers press conference and media briefings by all 10 ASEAN countries.
Robert Cotter, international editor from Kongres Magazine, Slovenia, has his sights set on reporting how a growing regional strength through ASEAN can result in planning successful events. He said: “I am keen to find out how emerging destinations can learn from developed destinations in the region, and the potential synergies for collaboration.”
Jonathan Ramel, journalist of BBT Online, Belgium said: “I look forward to meeting with the buyers at ATF 2016, and covering their opinions on the ASEAN market destination, and on the Philippines.”
Attending media delegates will have every opportunity to reach out to the region’s suppliers and get a glimpse of new and updated offerings from 500 exhibiting booths covering 40 destinations across ASEAN. Over 90 per cent of available booth space has already been sold with host country Philippines, alongside Thailand, Malaysia and the other seven South-east Asian nations as well as a strong showing of renowned corporate hospitality brands, DMCs and operators leading the exhibition showcase. A total attendance of 400 hosted buyers from around the world is expected to be at the three-day ATF TRAVEX event.
