WTC METRO MANILA HOSTS THE 46TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

MANILA, PHILIPPINES- The World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM) plays host to the forthcoming 46th World Trade Centers Association General Assembly (WTCA GA) on April 26-29, 2015 at the exhibition hall of WTCMM. The WTCA GA is the most important event in the WTCA’s annual calendar. This event, hosted by a World Trade Center (WTC) each year, rotates to different continents and draws some 250-300 foreign delegates from all over the world. It is the premier forum of WTCA to promote global business opportunities, share information related to World Trade Center facilities, and strengthen the WTCA brand and its network. This is a significant milestone for the Philippines, as this will be the first time that WTCA has chosen our country to host the General Assembly.

The WTCA, which is headquartered in New York (USA), was established in 1969 as a non-governmental organization to promote international trade and development. To date, there are more than 300 WTCs in nearly 100 countries around the globe. WTCMM is one such WTC.
Platinum sponsors supporting this prestigious global assembly are the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) promoting 2015 as Visit Philippines Year; Philippine Airlines (PAL) as the Official Carrier of delegates flying in from all over the world; and, Center for Culinary Arts (CCA), highlighting Filipino culinary talent through stylized Filipino cuisine.

Other government agencies and local companies who are supporting WTCMM in flying the Philippine flag through the hosting of WTCA GA are the Philippine International Trading Corporation (PITC), Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), Philippine Exporters Confederation (Philexport), Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), Oxford Business Group, Ralph’s Wines and Spirits, Figaro Coffee Systems, Inc., Live Events, Worldstage, and Eras Furniture.

The global market is coming to Manila and top-level business contacts are expected to realize great potential for near-term investments through networking and business matching with local delegates representing Makati Business Club, Management Association of the Philippines, Financial Executive Institute of the Philippines and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
