Aggressive Start for ACTE’s Educational Mission in ASPAC

(Singapore, February 18, 2003) - The Association of Corporate Travel Executives starts the year with a series of five educational offerings in the first quarter. The events in the ASPAC region will address topics covering security-maintenance & crisis management for business travel, how technology has altered the purchasing behaviour for business travel services, the advent of low-cost carriers & the analysis of their value-proposition and online auction sites for travel services. Executive Forums are scheduled for Hong Kong, 25 February and Singapore, 28 February. In addition, ACTE is hosting three educational sessions during the Business Travel Expo Hong Kong, 25-27 March 2003.

Speakers at ACTE’s forums include experts in their respective fields, travel management professionals and suppliers with direct experience in providing these services. In the line-up are reputable security and risk management companies such as International SOS and Control Risks Group whose analysts will answer questions in a time when conflicts threaten to disrupt the business travel activities globally. Technology will also be examined in the context of its role in changing the manner in which corporations procure business travel services. A veteran from IBM’s travel & transportation industry group will discuss these changes and the impact it will exert on this activity.

ACTE is proud to present these events as part of its mission to advance the industry with the support of its regional sponsors Abacus International, Business Travel International and Raffles International Hotels & Resorts. The official venues for these forums are the Eaton Hotel in Hong Kong and the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore. For more information and details, please visit www.acte.org
