In October, ITP held its latest global conference in Singapore and this was attended by 59 delegates from 35 countries.

ITP’s  recently appointed Director of Business Travel Management, Richard Lovelock, introduced himself and was welcomed by Jean-Claude Fert, ITP Chairman and all those present. His role will be to support and identify commercial opportunities with partners  in delivering services to multinational customers.

There was also a strong focus on the future when Jean-Claude outlined the new developments in the Travel Industry including the fast development of mobile travel technology, an area also covered by Amadeus and TraXess.
Singapore proved to be an outstanding destination with excellent facilities but the success of the programme was a reflection of the positive involvement of all participants. Again, thanks to Kian Wai Loo,  and his team at ITP – Diners World Travel who did a superb job in selecting the location and managing the event.
