at Travel Distribution World Asia 2012 in Singapore


February 7, 2012 - Vikram Singh, CEO of Evision Worldwide, will moderate two panel discussions at the Travel Distribution World Asia 2012 conference in Singapore. The first panel will address the dramatic increase in online and mobile usage; another will help attendees improve their hotel loyalty programs.
 
Singh, with an extensive background in formulating forward-thinking hotel marketing strategies based on emergent technologies and travel trends, is a clear fit for these topics. The two-day summit also shares Singh’s philosophy of action-oriented presentations: the conference will showcase a series of speakers and panels designed to empower attendees with “great new ideas to do better business” in driving sales and new opportunities in the travel sector.
 
First Executive Panel: The Surge in Online and Mobile Usage

  • Using online marketing to yield greater search traffic
Second Executive Panel: Loyalty Programs to Increase Customer Retention
 

Singh will additionally moderate a panel about “Matching Loyalty Programs to the Right Customer Profile to Increase Customer Retention.” Scheduled panel members include Celine Neulat, Director of Loyalty and Partner Marketing for Anantara Hotels & Resorts; Kittisak Eh Chuei, Director Loyalty Marketing for Pan Pacific Hotels Group; and Luca Deplano, VP Marketing of Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts.
