Cvent was recently named ‘Asia's Leading Travel Technology Provider 2018’ by the World Travel Awards.
Will Kataria, Director of Sales, APAC at Cvent, commented on Cvent’s success in helping to drive MICE and transient business in the Singapore and Asia regions. “Hotels and venues that truly embrace event management technology and utilise our suite of solutions as additional marketing and sales tools typically see incredible incremental growth in both the volume and quality of MICE business that they attract and retain. Event planners and corporate travel managers will source more than $16 billion dollars in business through Cvent’s online platforms in 2018, and the Cvent Hospitality Cloud offers our clients direct access to these buyers,” said Kataria.
