The celebratory mood at TTG Asia Media has flowed on to Bangkok where the company hosted a cake-cutting ceremony for its Golden Anniversary during its 33rd TTG Travel Awards gala dinner.
The occasion was graced by Chen Hong, major shareholder and chairman of TTG Asia Media, who acknowledged the company’s accomplishment in the travel and tourism industry under the leadership of managing director Darren Ng.
“TTG achieving 50 years is a remarkable achievement and demonstrates the company’s commitment to our partners and the industry as a whole,” said Chen.
Addressing Ng, Chen said: “Your leadership and dedication has been instrumental in bringing TTG to where it is today. In your decades at TTG, you have led the company to great success even through challenging periods.”
Chen also expressed gratitude towards the company’s staff. “Your efforts have helped TTG Asia Media become a leader in the travel trade media and events industry. Without your hard work and dedication, this success would not have been possible,” he said.
Chen, who had earlier visited TTG Asia Media’s IT&CM Asia and CTW Asia-Pacific double-bill trade event at the Bangkok Convention Centre CentralWorld last week, said he was “pleased to see that this exhibition has grown through the years, once again proving that everyone is working as one, overcoming difficulties and paving the way to the future”.
Chen concluded his encouraging speech with a vision of the future, where he sees TTG Asia Media remaining humble, continuing to work collaboratively with its peers, and staying focused.
Birthday wishes have also streamed in from readers and industry colleagues following that evening.
Soon-hwa Wong, CEO for Asia Tourism and PATA ambassador for Greater China, expressed on social media: “Congrats team TTG Asia Media for 50 glorious years of sharing travel news and insights to keep all of us updated and informed.”
Eileen Quek, assistant director, sales (international) with Constellar, wrote: “What a fabulous milestone and achievement! To many more amazing years of growth, success and partnership!”
