ITB Asia 2013 Hosted Buyer Registration Opens

Registration for this year’s ITB Asia Hosted Buyers programme has opened.

Recommended buyers registering under the ‘Group’ category can apply for both partial and full hosting from today. New buyers interested in joining this year’s programme can register for partial hosting status under the ‘Individual’ category from today, and full hosting from 1 July 2013.

Buyer registration closes 1 August 2013, with those looking to be partially hosted receiving a 50% early bird discount if they register before 30 April 2013.

The sixth edition of ITB Asia is set to be bigger than in previous years, with organisers planning to take up two floors of exhibition space this year (across level 6 and level 4) when it returns to the newly refurbished Suntec Singapore Convention Centre from 23 - 25 October 2013.

“As part of our commitment to enhance the quality of buyers at the show year-on-year, we’ll be investing in a new IT partner to help us improve the match-making algorithms for even higher-quality meetings. Our programme has consistently attracted top quality buyers and we hope to take it to an even higher level as the show enters its sixth year,” said Nino Gruettke, Executive Director of ITB Asia.

All potential buyers will undergo a screening process and will be evaluated based on their calibre and experience, as well as referrals from exhibitors.
