New York, NY, May 28, 2015 -- KIE/Kintetsu International held its 6th annual KIE Travel Showcase, Thursday, May 21st, at the new Marriott Central Park property; the largest hotel in North America. In total, over 50 of KIE’s preferred travel partners attended; including 9 major airlines, 40 major hotel brands, and several major car rental companies – all who exhibited their products and services to KIE clients. In addition, close to 200 KIE clients attended this year, both representing record totals.
KIE’s Travel Showcase gives our participating preferred travel vendors an opportunity to promote their products and services directly to our Kintetsu clients. This unique forum allows an exchange of information which ultimately gives KIE clients an opportunity to show how using our preferred suppliers can benefit them and reduce their travel costs. KIE is only U.S. travel management company to bring together suppliers and clients, in such a unique event.
According to Assistant General Manager, Bill Sarcona, “The originality of this event is what explains the tremendous growth each year and what has made this an overwhelming positive experience for both our preferred travel partners and our clients. It has proven to be a great forum to exchange information to learn more about each others needs.”
As KIE rapidly expands beyond Asia, for the first time this year, they welcomed Lan TAM and Aeromexico to their showcase, as their newest preferred carriers.
