ITB Asia and Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate as strategic partners from 2020-2022 and will see both works in close partnership on knowledge-sharing activities for the corporate travel community.
Under the MoU, ACTE will play a leading role in promoting ITB Asia and its group of events to quality buyers and corporate travel managers. The MoU will also lay the groundwork for further cooperation between the two institutions to frame new initiatives and activities for the corporate buying segment. These will seek to enhance opportunities for buyers and delegates to learn and network with industry leaders at ITB events as well as create meaningful dialogue through education, advocacy, and research for the global corporate travel community.
Katrina Leung, Managing Director of Messe Berlin (Singapore), the organiser of ITB Asia, said, “We are excited to work in close partnership with ACTE Global to engage with more corporate buyers and delegates at ITB Asia’s group of events. In particular, we aim to provide industry delegates with valuable breadth and depth on industry knowledge, stimulating a higher level of discourse on the corporate travel sector.”
Leigh Bochicchio, Executive Director of ACTE commented, “We are delighted to have concluded the agreement for ITB India 2020, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue the partnership with ITB Asia from 2020 to 2022. At ACTE, we continue to lead global education, advocacy, and initiatives to support impactful changes in safety and security, privacy, the duty of care, and Corporate Travel compliance, along with traveller productivity that supports global commerce. The expanded partnership in India and extended cooperation between ITB Asia and ACTE will undoubtedly foster another unprecedented horizon in our vision for global education in the corporate travel and MICE sectors.”
ITB Asia 2020 will take place at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, from 21-23 October 2020. The annual three-day B2B trade show and the convention will feature hundreds of exhibiting companies from the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East, covering the leisure market, MICE, and corporate travel.
