"Having the PATA Travel Mart 2015 in Bengaluru is our way of supporting new destinations and to promote it to (buyers) who will in turn sell it to their customers," said PATA CEO Mario Hardy while explaining the rational of holding a Travel Mart in the Silicon Valley of India rather than having it in a well known destinations like Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Hong Kong.

The next edition of the travel mart will be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, from September 7 to 9, 2016.
