MACAU DAILY TIMES - PATA Travel Mart to open in Macau
Macau is for the first time to host the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Travel Mart which will take place from September 15 to 17 at the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel.
The event is expected to attract 1,000 participants and guests to the SAR.
Following the PATA Annual Conference in 2005, Macau is to host the PATA Travel Mart for the first time. More than 300 buyers, 500 sellers and 50 media representatives from around the world will gather in Macau for the event.
PATA will cooperate with the Institute for Tourism Studies (IFT) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to organise a full-day seminar “Human Resources Challenges in the Tourism and Hospitality Industry: Promoting Industry and Academic Collaboration” at the IFT tomorrow. The goal is to provide a forum for academia and industry practitioners to exchange opinions on issues of the supply and demand of qualified employees in the travel and tourism industry.
The 3-day travel mart event will provide a platform for 900 buyers and sellers to establish networks and seek business opportunities. In addition to workshops and case studies, tours to Macau’s world heritage sites will be organised for participants.
