PATA Director-Strategic Intelligence Centre (SIC) Mr John Koldowski regularly presents mouth-watering statistical trends about Asia Pacific travel and tourism, drawn from SIC's comprehensive research and analysis

The envy of every other travel industry association on the planet, PATA’s Strategic Intelligence Centre (SIC) has its finger on the pulse of the world’s most dynamic region – Asia Pacific.

PATA members benefit from the SIC by being the first to know of emerging trends. For example, members receive bi-monthly Issues & Trends, an easy-to-read analysis of important issues and trends affecting the region’s travel industry.

PATA members also benefit from the SIC by saving money. The world’s best-selling publications about the Asia Pacific travel industry are available to PATA members at substantial discounts.

SIC’s unrivalled statistics, analyses and forecasts are trusted and respected globally. PATA executives’ speeches and presentations about the dynamism and diversity of Asia Pacific travel and tourism explain the implications of the statistical trends.

And the Asia Travel Intentions Survey, published jointly by PATA and Visa, provides a detailed look at the desires and concerns of potential travellers to Asia Pacific.

Through the SIC, PATA helps you understand the business environment in which you operate; now and in the future.

PATA’s partnership with OAG is designed to further strengthen the work of the Association’s Strategic Intelligence Centre (SIC).  OAG (Official Airline Guide) is now PATA’s ‘preferred airline data supplier’ and is a corporate member of the Association.

The latest OAG frequency and capacity trend statistics are now available for PATA members as part of this new partnership. See Members area for more details.

Information provided by OAG exclusively to PATA adds considerable weight to the Association’s syndicated and custom research projects undertaken on behalf of its global membership. The three-year agreement entitles PATA to real-time access to historic, current and future airline schedule data including point-to-point frequencies and seat capacities to/from specific geographic regions and jurisdictions. This is of considerable benefit to PATA members and is a good deal for both PATA and OAG.
