Accor's
hotel expo, World of Accor, will move to Hong Kong on 23 May for the second leg of its largest ever 11 city
tour.
World of Accor events were held in Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai in late March and early April, with almost 2,000 representatives from the
travel industry and media attending the expo and press functions. After Hong Kong, World of Accor moves to Singapore, Bangkok and Jakarta to
complete its swing though southern China and Southeast Asia. The final three shows are planned for Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney in early
August.
Representatives from Accor’s worldwide network of over 4,000 hotels will participate in the trade expos to showcase new hotel product, and to
discuss with clients their domestic, inbound and outbound hotel needs.
Travel agents, wholesalers, corporate travel bookers, meetings, conference and exhibition specialists and travel industry partners are all welcome
to attend the events.
Remaining World of Accor events in Asia are:
- Hong Kong 23 May
- Singapore 25 May
- Bangkok 1 June
- Jakarta 14 June
Over 50 Accor delegates will take part in the travel expo and the expansion of World of Accor comes at a time when Accor’s hotel network is rapidly
expanding across the Asia Pacific region.
Over the next two years Accor will add over 70 hotels around Asia Pacific, bringing the group’s network close to 350 hotels.
Accor Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing - Asia Pacific, Ray Stone said the response from the first four World of Accor expos in north Asia
was the best ever.
“Interest in Accor’s hotel network in Asia Pacific has never been greater, and we are delighted to welcome more industry colleagues to the World of
Accor.
“This is one of the most exciting eras for the tourism sector in the Asia Pacific region and Accor is undergoing its most rapid expansion since it first
entered the continent two decades ago. We have new hotels opening across the region in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Australia and
the South Pacific. World of Accor provides us with an ideal platform to ensure both the travel industry and consumers are fully aware of the new
product and destinations on offer,” Mr Stone added.
