Tour Asia Group to exhibit in MATTA Fair, Malaysia

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 30, 2009 – For the first time in the travel history in Asia, as many as eleven countries have come forward together to form – TOUR ASIA GROUP (TAG) this year in Thailand.

The objective of TAG is to promote each other in their home countries as well as in the Global market with the aim to pave way to increase business for each other in these difficult economic times. Given the current troubled world economic scenario is expected to continue well into 2009 and beyond, international tourism is expected to stagnate according to UNWTO sources. Thus such a platform as TAG is ideal tool to help drive, facilitate and share intelligence and resources among these countries to stimulate tourism.

TAG had its first launch board meeting at Ramada hotel in Bangkok on 19Jun’2009 with a vision to create Asia’s largest Tour Network. TAG partners are represented by the leading Tour operators from the following countries:

Thailand – Thai Sky Travel group
India - Special Holidays Travel  Pvt ltd
Maldives – Inner Maldives Holidays Pvt Ltd.
Bhutan – Special Holidays Travel  Pvt ltd
Cambodia – Sky Cambodia Travel
Indonesia - R.K.Travel & Group of Companies
Malaysia – Paradise Travel
Nepal - Special Holidays Travel  Pvt ltd
Philippines – Shroff International Travel Care, Inc.
Sri Lanka – Crystal Holidays Pvt Ltd
Vietnam – Vie Travel

TAG partners are all well established travel companies in their respective destinations and the team were able to formulate, plan and conclude unanimously the economic benefits that each TAG country member will gain through formation of TAG. This includes increase in sales, promote their destinations, promotions and sales through TAG Brochures, online & offline promotions, organise special FAM trips for media and the travel Industry at large. Specialised tour packages, hotels, car rental, cruise and airline bookings and other tourism products with some exclusive features will be offered and launched to the global travel market in due course. TAG is also launching new concepts of country combined packages to the worldwide market for Asia Tours under one umbrella of TAG.

TAG comes together again next month in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur from 04th to 6th September at MATTA Fair. The MATTA FAIR is the No. 1 Consumer Travel & Tourism Fair in Malaysia and is an established event widely recognized and supported by exhibitors and consumers.
