"The volume wasn't huge, but we were very happy with the quality of people who came. They were serious in their intentions... The hotel and Artasia staff could not have been more helpful. All in all, we were happy, although in some ways it was more of a branding exercise for us"

"It worked very well for us. We've got four people who are coming down to see us in Phuket in the next couple of weeks. The hotel was a good choice, and it looks as though the marketing must have been effective. ... I was initially concerned that having so many destinations on show wouldn't work, but I think I've been proved wrong. It worked very well"

"It's been excellent for us. We've had five or six people very interested, and the people who have attended all seemed serious potential buyers. But I would have liked to have seen more advertising within the hotel."

"Very happy! The attendance was what I expected, but they were all foucsed and we had a very positive reaction. We expect to make a number of sales. ... We were also very happy with the hotel service and catering. The staff were very helpful, much better than at the Hong Kong Exhibition Hall last year."

“It’s been very good PR for us. It gets our name out there, and hopefully some of those people will walk in our door in the future.
We’ve had a very good response to Bali. People still think about the bombs, and some Australians definitely deferred their holidays, but the people who came here appear to be fairly sophisticated, and they don’t appear to be deterred. Since the last bomb it’s actually been busier at the top end of the market, and it’s helped that the legalities are getting clearer as well.”

“It was 1,000 percent up on the last exhibition in London. We talked to a lot of people. … Perhaps it was hard for us to compete against Phuket and Samui because of their proximity to Hong Kong, but I feel we made some progress. I think that our message of safety, security and freehold title struck a cord, and we have some meetings set up for the next couple of days.”

“The first day was very good, and the quality of the people above average. Some people evidently found the venue hard to find, but maybe that worked in our favour because the people who came were really serious. It’s always a bit harder with Chiang Mai. … People do need educating.”

“I thought the seminars worked well. I prefer the panel format, myself, and I think people responded to it. The sound could have been improved to make it more intimate, but I think we generated enough interest for some good follow-ups.”

“The hotel staff were fantastic. They couldn’t have been more helpful. … I think there were a few property developers snooping round for ideas, but I guess that’s not all bad. Everyone appeared to really like our concept.”

“We’re pretty happy, although the stands were a bit small. We’ve got four or five good leads, so that’s good. It’s always harder selling Bali than it is Thailand.”

“It’s been absolutely overwhelming, especially considering the negative publicity Sri Lanka has received recently. However, we’re offering a 5-star experience at a 3-star price, and that seems to have worked for us. We’re delighted.”

“It’s been very worthwhile, and we’re hoping for at least two or three sales. It’s very important for Thailand to have a presence in Hong Kong, and this compares very favourably to other exhibitions. It can only improve as time goes by.”
