Fellow travel junkies, put your game face on. A pair of comfy kicks too.

This year’s 20th Travel Tour Expo (TTE 2013), dubbed as Gateway to Getaways, is slated on February 15-17, 2013 and will be held at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1, 2, 3, 4 plus Function Room 5.

A whopping 257 companies (as of February 11) are participating this 2013, with a booth-count of over 500. An approximate 8% growth of exhibits from last year. From airline companies to hotels and resorts to national tourism agencies and travel agencies to travel gear suppliers. Find out what the exhibitors got up their sleeves, fun games and prizes await.
