News this week: The inaugural edition of Seatrade Cruise Asia
has been postponed to a later date as a result of the MERS virus outbreak in
Korea according to the organiser and UBM subsidiary, Seatrade
Communications. The two-day
trade show was scheduled to take place at the Busan
Exhibition and Convention Centre from 11th to 12th June.
Seatrade received an
increasing number of withdrawal notifications from its key stakeholders including
delegates, speakers and cruise lines. The organiser says its planned conference
programme can no longer be delivered as scheduled as regional travel
restrictions have been imposed by other Asian countries.
Andrew Williams,
general manager Seatrade, commented, “This decision has not been an easy one
and we have looked into every possibility, however in consultation with the
industry, we feel that this is the most appropriate course of action.”
