China Travel Distribution & Tech Summit Opens For Registration
PhoCusWright is pleased to announce a marketing alliance with China's most important travel distribution conference.

Sherman, Conn. USA, July 21, 2008—Traveldaily—China's leading online publisher focusing on distribution, marketing and technology trends in the travel and tourism industries—is proud to host China's leading travel distribution conference, the 2008 China Travel Distribution & Technology Summit. The Summit will be held November 20 - 21, 2008 at the InterContinental Pudong Hotel, Shanghai. The China International Travel Mart (CITM), one of the largest travel trade shows in Southeast Asia, will also convene from November 20 - 23 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center.

"The international travel industry now recognizes that China is the future of their business. It is anticipated that by 2015 China will become the largest domestic travel market, the number one travel destination and the number four source market in the world. To understand this market and how local consumers are buying travel is increasingly becoming important for multinational companies looking to invest in China or do business with Chinese companies," said Eva He, Traveldaily's marketing director. Ms. He added, "The feedback from the travel trade is very positive since we started to plan this conference, as evidenced by the list of confirmed speakers. By working together with them and our media partners, we are striving to make this conference a great success and create excellent networking opportunities for travel industry professionals."

Distinguished speakers from both Chinese and international travel companies will be featured.
