The
government has squirrelled away about $500,000 for the upcoming Pacific Asian
Tourism Association Travel Mart (PTM), which is to run 17-19 September.
Tourism
Minister told the Post yesterday that the government had approved the $500,000
budget for the event, which it is hoped will attract more tourism business to
the Kingdom. The event, co-organised by the Pacific Asian Tourism Association
(PATA), is expected to cost more than $1 million.
More than
600 tourism companies are expected to attend the event, which will be held on
Koh Pich. Last year’s PTM was held in Chengdu, China. It hosted some 550
tourist industry stalls and about 473 buyer delegates.
