Where the travel minds meet - SuiteAsia !

Travel News Asia Date: 17 October 2001

A new travel website has launched in Asia, despite all the doom and gloom presently affecting the industry, in fact the management at this new website feel the future is, well, rather suite !

Unlike most travel websites this new project is not going to sell airline tickets, nor even hotel rooms, instead, it is going to act as a forum for travel industry players to be able to meet and discuss everything from the latest travel news, events and topics, all the way through to their favourite golf courses or football teams.

Forums are not a new idea, but they have proved extremely popular on the internet, as it provides a ground for people from all over the world to intermingle, share ideas and make friends. In fact it is the community aspect of forums that have made them so reliable and popular. SuiteAsia.com claims to be the first specific travel related forum in Asia, which if true could bode well for its future. The website plans to generate its income from advertising, a tricky proposition as many advertisers are increasingly questioning the effectiveness of online campaigns.

Peter Reginald, Senior Manager of SuiteAsia.com commented, "This is a perfect opportunity for us to launch SuiteAsia.com, as we now need more than ever, the opportunity to be able to put our heads together and share ideas on how to best move the travel industry and our own share within forward in these troubled times."

He continues, "Of course real life forums such as the WTM, ITB, PATA Travel Mart etc will always exist but these forums last only for four or five days a year. SuiteAsia.com will provide the opportunity for the travel trade to continue to share ideas and 'meet' in the virtual sense 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Plus because we are not closing off the forum to consumers, in fact we are also actively encouraging consumers to come in and participate, it gives the industry an excellent opportunity to market their products."

"As for the question of advertising, we have already had two serious enquiries regarding an exclusivity agreement from two of the worlds largest International hotel chains and so we are not concerned about that aspect of the business."

Users of SuiteAsia.com are required to register, which takes barely a few seconds and the site even encourages users to register under an alias so that they can remain anonymous, and have the potential to ask silly questions the site claims!
