The 42nd edition of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Travel Mart (PTM) opened today in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan at the Korme Exhibition Center. Over 1000 delegates from 60 destinations are participating in the two-day event.

This is PATA’s first-ever event in Central Asia. “In addition, to the two full days of pre-matched business appointments between global sellers and qualified international buyers, we have also organized two PTM Forums with a dynamic line-up of speakers that will explore the power of technology and the evolution of content marketing,” said Mario Hardy, CEO of PATA.

PTM stands out this year with a human capacity building training programme, which PATA is organising to provide further value to its host.
