What our Exhibitors have to say...

“This is our third year at ALTM and compared to previous years we have been most impressed this year by the initiative of the buyers.  We are meeting the key decision makers which results in almost immediate business.  We have been very impressed by the calibre of our fellow exhibitors and believe ALTM has the region very well covered in terms of serious buyers”
-Liz Espana, Head of Marketing, Vista Jet

“ALTM is a fantastic opportunity for likeminded people in the industry to meet, socialise and develop business opportunities.  All the current obstacles facing the travel industry have been pushed to one side as business partners are keen to break boundaries and remain positive.  There is still a requirement in the industry to meet the needs of the luxury travel buyer and Hotel G is looking to meet this demand.  In this way, ALTM has exceeded our expectations to meet key luxury travel buyers.  ALTM is a global meeting place which has enabled Hotel G to realise new market concepts and opportunities”
 -Alex Chakrabarti, General Manager, Hotel G

“In previous years ALTM has provided sensational returns on investment which is why we decided to return for 2009.  So far the event has been a great success for Cox & Kings and we will defiantly look to return next year”
-Rajet Gera, Cox & Kings Regional Sales Manager 
(Russia, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey)

“This is the third year Silversea has exhibited at ALTM and there has never been a more important time for face to face business opportunity meetings.  The high quality of buyers we have been able to secure appointments with has led to meaningful and useful conversations with the key decision makers.  We will defiantly come back for ALTM 2010”
-Steve Odell, Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific, Silversea Cruises

‘The quality of buyers at ALTM 09, especially from India, which is a key market for Capella has been very impressive.  We have met genuine luxury travel buyers with strong potential for business opportunities”

-Graham Kiy, General Manager, Zendai Hotel Yin & Zendai Art Hotel

“As we participate in ALTM for the third year in a row we have extended our booth space as our affiliate hotels are finding the Asia Pacific markets and ALTM more relevant in the current economic climate.  It is more important than ever to be highly visible, especially as the Asian markets are proving more resilient than others around the world."
-Roland Jegge, Vice President Asia Pacific, WORLDHOTELS

“The pre-schedule appointments at ALTM have proved to be very productive and a good platform to get to know quality buyers from across the region.  The production of ALTM this year has been outstanding”
