In addition to the pre-arranged program, participating in a Trade Mission will allow delegates to meet with likeminded businesses who can complement each other. Each Mission has a dedicated Mission brochure created in order to promote each delegate’s product prior to the Mission. The PAAC Trade Missions team are here to offer high quality, productive support that will ensure all delegates are fully confident in the success of the Mission. Delegates will benefit from the following services:
Travel
Delegates participating in a PAAC Trade Mission can have peace of mind knowing that we are a fully bonded travel agency. We are able to offer our clients all the benefits of global buying power and global support. We are able to negotiate rates when it comes to transport and accommodation, and we are able to arrange an end-to-end service which can work around changing schedules.
VISA Advice & Procurement
The PAAC Trade Missions team are able to advise both delegates and sponsors on whether a visa is required when travelling to a destination. For parties that need help in the procurement of their visas, and for a number of countries who require officiation invitation letters, the PAAC Trade Missions team is on hand to assist.
Bespoke Itineraries
Trade Mission programs are built around the needs of the participating delegates – all prerequisite objectives are taken into account when planning a Mission. If delegates wish to extend their stay, or choose a particular hotel or travel with a certain airline, the PAAC Trade Missions team are able to cater for all. We understand that to have the most successful Mission possible we need to cater towards the needs of our delegates, whilst ensuring that the Mission sponsor (for communication, logistical and security reasons) is aware of the movements of each delegate.
Dedicated Point Of Contact
At PAAC Trade Missions it is our personal approach that sets us apart. Our dedicated team of experienced Travel Managers will act as a point of contact for all delegates, and are always on hand to provide any information on associated Missions.
