THE Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) and AppNexus, the world’s leading independent advertising technology company, today announced a new Preferred Partnership agreement. The agreement will allow PATA members to better understand the new landscape of programmatic advertising and how best to utilise it for their respective organisations.
As a Preferred Partner, AppNexus will have access to and network with PATA’s hospitality members, tour operators, destination management companies, and National Tourism Organisations members. In addition, AppNexus will share programmatic advertising trends, data, and analysis to PATA members.

He also added that PATA will now have the ability to offer its members the opportunity to access unique data and insights from AppNexus, allowing them to be more informed about the evolving digital marketing landscape.
