BUYERS

I travel in excess of two thirds of the year and almost never have time to meet suppliers that are important to me. Hotec Asia gives me the opportunity each year to be able to plan a whole series of important meetings in a concentrated and extremely time efficient way.

The format of scheduled meetings with selected suppliers was a huge benefit and time saver.

Joe Haughney, Owner’s Representative Hotel Development, Hong Kong Disneyland

Focused meetings, good selection of sellers. Excellent social activities & seminars. Excellent - well planned!
