A new strategic partnership with Wired In Travel (WIT), the travel distribution and marketing conference in Asia was announced by PhoCusWright. Under the agreement, PhoCusWright will bring its content and network to WIT 2007 being held in Singapore on November 29-30.
Wired Ventures` Yeoh Siew Hoon, organizer of WIT said: We couldn`t ask for a better partner than PhoCusWright to take our event, now in its third year, to a higher plane. PhoCusWright conferences have a strong reputation for content and credibility – which is also WIT`s ethos – and their research, insights and intelligence are sought after by travel and tourism companies around the world. This is a great partnership for both organizations trying to make a difference in the field on travel distribution and marketing.
