CTW Asia-Pacific, an annual conference and exhibition for the region s corporate travel professionals, has sealed a sponsorship deal with accommodation and hospitality specialist, Oakwood Worldwide, and global travel technology, solution and service provider, Travelport.
Explaining the company’s decision to put its money behind the trade show, Oakwood Worldwide managing director, Craig Ryan, said: “The event’s ability to attract valuable decision-makers involved in corporate travel procurement has been the key motivating factor in our leap to be a first-time CTW Asia-Pacific sponsor.
“The show has proved to be a very important one in the annual calendar of corporate travel managers in Asia-Pacific. Being a sponsor ensures we are able to directly engage and better acquaint the industry with the Oakwood Worldwide brand and its suite of accommodation solutions.”
Sharing the same sentiments is returning sponsor Travelport. Corporate account director, Dirk Mertens, said: “By exclusively hosting a segment for the event’s attendees, we had a captive platform to interact with corporate travel professionals from around the region. As a result of this direct engagement, we gained a deeper understanding of the needs of business travellers.”
He added: “Returning as a sponsor enables us to meet with new corporate professionals and build on the working relationships we had forged with this sector in 2013.”
CTW Asia-Pacific is organised by TTG Events, a division of TTG Asia Media. It will be held from September 30 to October 2 at the Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld.
