FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Par Avion Awarded Two Major Contracts from Questex
Los Angeles, CA. January 25, 2007. Questex, a pacesetter in integrated media solutions, has just awarded two major contracts for convention housing and travel to Par Avion. The shows, which will be held this year, are IECSC/Las Vegas and IECSC/Orlando. With the addition of this contract, Par Avion will manage the entire Questex portfolio under a multi-year agreement.
“We've seen that the pickup has consistently increased at all Questex events since Par Avion has been involved in managing them. I believe this is a key reason that Questex chose us to provide housing and travel for these large shows” says Toby Brenner, president and CEO, Par Avion.
“Par Avion offers us more than any other housing and travel provider” says Tom Caridi, CFO, Questex. “They understand the unique qualities of each of our shows, and we count on that knowledge and flexibility to keep our events running smoothly, including managing telemarketing lines to ensure that our attendees get the information they need, when they need it. We're confident that they will continue to provide outstanding value for us.”
As the convention housing and travel industry continues to grow, attendees are requiring expanded services from travel providers. Although the trend is towards more data gathering online and online travel and accommodation booking, nothing replaces the ability to speak to a live person who understands and solves unique challenges. For Questex and other clients, Par Avion differentiates itself by providing dedicated phone lines for each show that are staffed 24/7 during the event. To further ensure a smooth event, the people who manage the pre-event reservations actually attend each and every event to service the needs of attendees.
