The Preferred Partnership agreement is the tangible expression of that vision, enabling us to support PATA in making a difference.”
Ms Childs said the partnership would also help PATA realise the “immense value” of PATAmPower. “We will help leverage PATA’s powerful network to support our ‘insights to action’ philosophy where it can achieve results for both of us. PATA has an unrivalled positioning thanks to its ability to connect all parts of the visitor economy across the region.”
PATA CEO Mr Martin J Craigs, said: “The partnership with MyTravelResearch.com provides vital support to the PATA Strategic Intelligence Centre.
