Singapore July 14th 2003 - The Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE) is pleased to announce its first series of educational events in China in conjunction with the Asia Business Travel Market, 2-5 September 2003. ABTM's highly-anticipated exhibition and conference presents ACTE with an educational platform to introduce China's corporate community to the principles and practices of business travel management.

Sim Beng Khoon, Senior Global Travel Manager, Alliente Inc. and ACTE's Education Representative for Asia-Pacific said, "What ACTE brings is an entire global cache of information on business travel management and an ability to demonstrate how it can work in local conditions. It is vital knowledge for companies operating in any country where domestic and international business travel volumes are expanding."

ACTE's wealth of knowledge, from its educational mission in over 37 international markets worldwide is an immediate resource for Chinese corporations that want to access information on effective management of business travel expenditure and activities.

During the ABTM event ACTE will offer a general session and two breakout sessions, specifically designed to addresses business travel issues and challenges in Asia. In addition, one of the educational sessions will be presented in Chinese. ACTE is excited for the opportunity to showcase our educational expertise at this event.
