Tourism Industry Survey PATA TOTAL
TOURISM SURVEY DUE OCTOBER BANGKOK,
August 4, 2005 The Pacific Asia Travel
Association (PATA) Total Tourism Survey
will be released at the start of October.
The survey covers all strategic factors
impacting travel and tourism in Asia
Pacific. It will be entitled, "Asia
Pacific Travel and Tourism: The Industry
Speaks". PATA
President and CEO Mr Peter de Jong said:
"The PATA Total Tourism Survey is the
definitive litmus test of travel trade
sentiment in Asia Pacific this year. When
the full results are tabulated, the
implications for the industry will be far
reaching." Some
263 global members of the travel and
tourism industry filled out the PATA Total
Tourism Survey between February and June
this year. They responded to questions on
all the issues directly or indirectly
facing the travel industry, among them:
peace negotiations, terrorism, a common
Asian currency, bird flu, global warming,
ageing populations, tourism as cultural
protector or destroyer, the mass media's
coverage of crises, the impact of travel
advisories, distribution technology,
aviation, human resource challenges,
domestic and regional tourism growth, and
whether the industry is ready to handle a
large volume of traffic from India and
China (PRC). PATA
Director-Strategic Intelligence Centre, Mr
John Koldowski, said: "There are some
surprises and issues in there that need to
be addressed by travel industry
leaders." The
full PATA Total Tourism Survey will be
released to the PATA Board of Directors on
October 1 and to PATA members shortly
afterwards. A summary will be available to
all PATA members and survey respondents
free of charge, with the full report
selling for US$30 to PATA members and
