GoQuo Sponsors TRAVELtech Australia: Asia Pacific’s
leading online marketing and distribution conference
Aiming to play a major role in the Asia Pacific region,
GoQuo sponsors Traveltech Australia 2006 - the region’s
leading online distribution conference.
Although it is one of the newest international
technology shows, TRAVELtech Australia is the main event
where dominant travel players converge in the region.
For GoQuo, participating in TRAVELtech Australia 2006 is
a conscious, deliberate and strategic move as GoQuo
seeks to expand into new markets and build its portfolio
of international clients.
Anderson Dy, GoQuo’s Head of Sales and Marketing,
predicts that intern-continental and inter-regional
passenger traffic and tourism in that region will expand
exponentially over the next two decades. Using the
extensive market research conducted by GoQuo to analyse
the trends, patterns and movements in the travel
industry, Anderson Dy argues: “We simply cannot ignore
the critical developments that are happening in the
Asia-Pacific region (A-Pr). Buckling under international
competitive pressures, more countries in the region have
begun adopting progressively liberal policies in regard
to passenger travel, opening previously closed markets
to open competition. The dramatic increase of global
trade with China is providing further impetus to this
transformation. As travel restrictions in China are
lifted and as more wealth is created in China due to the
remarkable increase in foreign direct investments into
the country, a rising number of Chinese have begun
spending their new found wealth in travel. Technology
not only has to be engineered to accommodate the massive
number of potential travellers but also technology has
to be flexible and innovative enough to accommodate the
new and specific demands of the Chinese and of the
Asia-Pacific travel company or traveller. As GoQuo’s
bespoke products have been engineered to an extremely
high level of sophistication and flexibility, we are not
afraid to respond to this challenge.”
The passenger traffic is not contained within the region
as the region’s exotic sites and offers continually temp
travellers from across the globe. Hong Kong, Thailand,
Malaysia and Singapore have consistently topped polls
for long-haul destinations among travellers.
Cosmopolitan cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo,
Taipei and Seoul, the off-beaten-track cities like Ho
Chi Minh, Hanoi, Vientienne, Phnom Penh and Chang Mai
and Oz-NZ favourites like Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington
and Auckland are all set to be the next travel hotspots
of the coming decade.
GoQuo’s Managing Director, Ron Ramanan points out:
“Although the region has suffered a set back in the past
3 years due the international issues like terrorism and
the avian flu, the region is making a spectacular
comeback. With a cumulative regional population
surpassing 1.8 billion, the importance of this market
cannot be denied. And with the recently liberalised
‘skies’ spurring a dramatic growth in regional carriers,
the region is considered the most dynamic and most
competitive in the world. We need to be there to
capitalise on these developments and provide the
necessary technology solutions to this emerging market.”
With a theme of Power to the People, TRAVELtech
Australia 2006 will be held in Sydney on the 22nd of
August. For more information, please access:
