PATA, Hong Kong

Dear Chin-Ning Chu,

It was a distinct honor and pleasure to meet you. On behalf of the Pacific Asia Travel Association, thank you very much for making the 49th Annual PATA Conference a most memorable event.

You are a very exceptional person. You might talk about doing less and achieving more, but you do more than most people. Your ability to change your schedule literally on a moment's notice was very impressive to all our attendees. You truly came to our rescue.

Actually, your Keynote Address did set the tone for the Conference, it was positive, upbeat and most refreshing. In turn, so was the Conference. Everyone greatly appreciated your joining us for some of the other business sessions and social functions.

Hopefully our paths will cross in the future. In the meantime, if PATA or I can be of any assistance to you, just let me know. Once again, thank you for making the PATA 2000 Conference a most exceptional event.

Sincerely,

Joseph A. Mclnerney

Chief Executive Officer
