conditions we are faced with today.
Tough times require innovative approaches to standard business functions,
and likewise can be the driver of creative new strategies and processes – be it
from a cost cutting or revenue generating standpoint.
Rest assured this year’s event has not been created to scare, depress or
unsettle attendees with references to economic doom and gloom. The
program has been designed to offer a dynamic and practical means by which
to positively confront the current challenges, with a degree of relative success.
So why Innovation?
                                                                                                    Balanced panels with excellent

Because without innovation the challenges we face will no longer just be those
external to our business, but also internal.

With TDS Asia 2009 we have identified 3 main areas where we will discuss the
application of innovation: online distribution and sales; revenue management
and pricing; website content and conversion strategies.
Travel distribution has long been the backbone of TDS Asia, and as this
comprehensive subject encompasses so many modern business activities,
it has allowed us to revisit popular revenue management topics, as well as
introduce the dynamic new world of website content.

4 great reasons to attend:
    The Learning - this event has been created after hours
   of discussion with people across every discipline, sector, and
  geographic corner of Asia’s travel industry. Those discussions
    have been compressed into this thought provoking agenda,
    featuring the most recurring challenges and opportunities.


     The Leaders - we always work hard to invite speakers
      whose area of expertise matches the topic on which they
       are presenting. Flick through the range of jobtitles and
       companies featured, and you will agree that this year’s
           speakers are all qualified experts in their field.


    The Networking - TDS Asia has quickly developed a
reputation as the networking hub for the industry, and with over
 720 visitors in 2008 it’s easy to see why. We make every effort
to ensure you can meet the industry, quiz the solution providers,
    and reacquaint yourself with industry friends old and new.


 The Climate - Never have Asia’s travel suppliers faced such
 a massive battle as overcoming the recent economic shift. This
battle is one that we all must face, and arming ourselves with the
   collective knowledge of many is a step in the right direction.

  • 3. 4 great reasons to attend: The Learning - this event has been created after hours of discussion with people across every discipline, sector, and geographic corner of Asia’s travel industry. Those discussions have been compressed into this thought provoking agenda, featuring the most recurring challenges and opportunities. The Leaders - we always work hard to invite speakers whose area of expertise matches the topic on which they are presenting. Flick through the range of jobtitles and companies featured, and you will agree that this year’s speakers are all qualified experts in their field. The Networking - TDS Asia has quickly developed a reputation as the networking hub for the industry, and with over 720 visitors in 2008 it’s easy to see why. We make every effort to ensure you can meet the industry, quiz the solution providers, and reacquaint yourself with industry friends old and new. The Climate - Never have Asia’s travel suppliers faced such a massive battle as overcoming the recent economic shift. This battle is one that we all must face, and arming ourselves with the collective knowledge of many is a step in the right direction.
