399 attend first Online Expo

19 Jul 2018
Comments | 0

ALMOST three times as

many people as expected

checked out the first Online

Expo in the travel industry.

The Now Media Show,

a one-day expo aimed at

travel marketers, featured

exhibitors and a line-up of

authoritative speakers on

marketing issues.

“The main purpose

was to demonstrate how

such technology looks

and works as it emulates

a traditional show and

can be used to reach a

geographically spread target

audience like travel agents,”

said organiser, Natalie

Cumberlege.

Future shows will

specifically target travel

consultants.

Natalie, who comes from

a background of running

traditional consumer

and specialist shows,

said afterwards that the

attendance of 399 had

smashed expectations. “It

had proved the ability for

exhibitors to reach people who

in the past could not afford the

time or cost of leaving their

workstation,” she said.

Reshma Diva in Tshwane

summed it up. “Love the idea.

The way of future travel expos.

Great for travel consultants

working from home who can

now interact with suppliers and

get updated on travel products

via a virtual show! Well done!

Online Expos is a division of

Now Media, which publishes

TNW and Travelinfo. You can

see the archived demo expo at

www.thenowmediashow.co.za

The next show, Into Africa,

on September 13, is aimed at

corporate travel buyers, TMCs

and leisure agents.

nataliec@nowmedia.co.za if
