• How Travel & Tourism Can Help Restore the Balance in the Emerging New World Order

  

   

  "The travel & tourism buzzword of the 21st century will be the search for balance."

   

  That forecast was made by Imtiaz Muqbil, Executive Editor, Travel Impact Newswire, in the monthly strategic intelligence publication of PATA, the Pacific Asia Travel Association, way back in February 1999. Today, it is proving spot-on as the word "balance" resonates across all industry sectors.
