The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) invites you to join us for a bigger, better PATA Travel Mart 2007 (PTM07) in Bali, “Island of Peace” and “Island of the Gods”.Asia Pacific continues to enjoy rock solid year-to-date growth in arrivals of about 5% (so far) in 2006.

Returning sellers are rewarded with loyalty discounts of up to 15% on space costs, as well as priority booth locations. PTM07 in Bali promises to reward everyone who is serious about Asia Pacific travel and tourism:

• More scheduled business appointments
