Beijing will welcome the travel industry leaders from the Asia Pacific region and beyond by holding the Pacific Asia Travel Association’s 60^th Anniversary and Conference on April 9 to 12. This conference is decided to be held in the China World Hotel in Beijing.

 

Commenting on the meeting David Scowsill, the president and CEO of the World Travel and Tourism Council congratulated PATA on reaching its 60th anniversary saying that in the 60-years since it was founded in Hawaii, PATA has helped to put the region on the global tourism map — not just as a destination but also as a rapidly growing source of tourism business for destinations around the world. With membership representing all sectors of the industry — from large corporations to SMEs in transport, hospitality and the travel trade, together with governments — Scowsill said that PATA has become a benchmark of success for public-private sector partnerships.

Progressive", the conference is the focal point of PATA's year-long campaign of 60th anniversary events and activities.
