Mumbai (India) – November 21, 2019 (travelindex.com) –  One of the world’s leading trade fair companies, has announced a strategic partnership with global corporate travel leader, the Association of Corporate Travel Executives (ACTE). The agreement inks a significant partnership to be the 2020 Corporate Travel Day Partner for ITB India, the new 3-day business-to-business travel trade show and convention focusing on the Indian and South Asian travel market.

ACTE joins ITB India’s Buyers Elite Programme Partners to recommend quality buyers and corporate travel managers to the show.

At the ITB India Corporate Travel Day, industry professionals will be providing answers to many industry questions and highlighting best practices and actual scenarios from the business travel market.

The partnership is the perfect pairing of two industry leaders sharing a common vision of drawing more corporate travel buyers to both India and Southeast Asia. As one of the most important partners for ITB India in the corporate sector, ACTE, with its wide international representation from over 100 countries, will play a leading role in promoting our premiere event,” said Katrina Leung, Managing Director of Messe Berlin (Singapore), co-organiser of ITB India.
