TO DATE, some 500 buyer registrations from 61 countries across 6 continents have applied to attend ATF 2016, with 100 of these buyers already being offered a hosting position.
The geographies show that procurement sources come not only from established markets like USA, UK, China, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, but also from Central Asia, Eastern European and African regions including Azerbaijan, Estonia, Ghana, Lebanon, Monaco, Romania, Slovakia and Ukraine, that have a growing interest for ASEAN destinations. Organisers and the Host Committee are also targeting buyers from top potential outbound markets such as Germany, Scandinavia and United Arab Emirates.
Procurement and business objectives across all buyer applicants have been diverse. Anthony Hill, Founding Director of Adventure Travel, Australia is “looking to expand our partnerships with local DMCs and Suppliers from across the ASEAN region”, while Antonie Noens, Managing Director of Easy Tours, Belgium is most interested in “Thailand, Indochina and Indonesia, as well as service providers who can provide incentive deals.”
Another 300 hosting places will be accorded to eligible applicants over the coming weeks.
