‘SpeedBuilder’ Networking Sessions: September 7,8,9 at Pragati Maidan Main Hall 

Here’s another exciting innovation to look forward at this year’s PATA Mart … daily ‘SpeedBuilder’ sessions to build your network in a flash.

Networking functions often involve lots of standing around, small talk, wondering who to approach, and how to start. You may only cover half a dozen people in an evening. PATA’s ‘SpeedBuilder’ is different.

In just 20 minutes you will meet 10 potential suppliers, partners, buyers or sellers. That’s right – you get only 2 minutes each with a random assortment of travel and tourism industry players. You will know instantly whether there is any potential for further discussion and follow up or not. Then it’s time to change to the next potential partner. A high-energy and fun networking format. All the benefits, with none of the downsides.

‘SpeedBuilder’ sessions will be run each day at lunch time in the main hall. Just put your name down at the PATA booth for your preferred time slot, or try your luck and drop by at the time. The more people who sign up, the more sessions we are happy to run for you.

Don’t forget to bring tons of business cards. After all, you never know who you might meet.

PATA BUILDS YOUR NETWORK.

IHWW: Four Trends to Watch

According to IHWW, the four trends that offer the best opportunities for growth are: 1) The majority of hotels prefer own reservation systems rather than overly depending on OTAs and hotel compare / review sites 2) Independent hotels see value in going solo and offering better services than being a part of a chain 3) Asian hospitality continues to lead the way, but America is opening up more for international travel 4) Technological advances will continue to revolutionize the hospitality sector.
