Ecuador Hopes Larger Troves of Attendants to International Travel Show

The Organizing Committee of the sixth edition of the Ecuador International Travel Mart –scheduled from April 20 to 22- is gearing up preparations with a view to snare a much bigger turnout of tour operators and travel agents this time around.

Up to now, some 70 international travel buyers and 114 domestic purchasers have confirmed their attendance to this event that will take place at the Cuenca Conference Center.

There´ll be attendants from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. “We´re expecting to receive 300 participants from those world regions,” a press release on the topic indicates.

“At the same time, wholesalers, tour operators and international travel agencies will organize a Business Round Table as buyers, thus having access to Ecuador´s stock of tourist offers and reckoning how many visitors they could come up with in the short and long run,” the document underlines.

BITE 2005 has so far been active in some of the planet´s premier travel tradeshows and fairs, like Colombia´s ANATO, Berlin´s ITB and the BTC in the Dominican Republic.

One more trial ground prior to the unfolding of BITE 2005 will be its presence in the Caribbean Travel Marketplace and Catalonia´s International Tourism Hall to be held in Barcelona under a slogan reading “Ecuador: Tourism, Commerce, Handicrafts and Culture.”
