PATA Tourism Forecasts and Data Insights
PATA CEO, Liz Ortiguera, shared a message to our valued PATA community on Sept 16, 2021. Her note has been reposted below:
Dear PATA Members and Industry Colleagues,
We've had a busy past couple of weeks between hosting both the Virtual PATA Travel Mart 2021 and our PATA Gold Awards in addition to our usual ongoing activities.
My special thanks to the Leshan Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau for supporting the event, which took place in conjunction with the Sichuan International Travel Expo. And also a special thanks to the Macao Government Tourism Office for supporting our awards event for the 26th year. A big congratulations again to all of our winners.
In highlighting our upcoming events, as mentioned in PATA's 8-Point Plan to support our members and industry, we are increasing the forecasts and insights (Point #4) shared with our members to help them navigate through this industry recovery. We've increased our PATA Visitor Forecasts from annually to quarterly. Tune in on Tuesday when we provide a briefing on our latest forecast along with insights from our research partners from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, ForwardKeys, TCI Research, Euromonitor International, and STR.
And lastly, in case you missed it, check out our recordings of the 2-part Digital Photography Workshop by accomplished travel photographer Scott A Woodward, plus the HR Briefing by Andrew Chan of ACI HR Solutions on The Road to Recovery for Tourism Roles and Opportunities. We're open to hearing topic requests for future webinars. Please send us your suggestions.
