Larger presence for Dragonair at ITE 2005

As part of events to mark its 20th anniversary Dragonair is to have its biggest ever presence at the International Travel Expo (ITE) which opens in Hong Kong Thursday.

“To mark our anniversary, our presence at ITE this year is much larger than usual, with a booth that is three times the size of previous years,” said Dragonair’s General Manager, Hong Kong and Southern China Titus Diu. “We have teamed up with 13 travel agents to bring Hong Kong residents a host of special offers and ensure they can celebrate 20 years of the Dragon with us.”

The Dragonair booth, number J33, will hold a lucky draw with the chance for participants to win many attractive prizes including a one-year free air pass. The show, held at HKCEC, opens on June 9 and is open to the public on June11-12. 

With respect to the outlook for tourism, Mr. Andy Tung, Chief Operating Officer was upbeat, “The potential that we see arising from the China Mainland, Dragonair’s main market, benefits the travel and tourism industry in the region as a whole, as more people from the Mainland take advantage of the Individual Travel Scheme to visit Hong Kong.”

Dragonair operates a fleet of 12 A330-300s, six A321s and 11 A320s, in addition to four Boeing 747-200/-300 freighters, one wet-leased A300B4 freighter and one wet-leased Boeing 747-400 freighter.
