THE first-ever travel fair hosted by Pan Bright Travel Service in conjunction with its 35th anniversary turned out to be a success as the company’s travel team members had their hands full attending to the crowd flocking to their booth at the atrium of Times Square Shopping Centre over the weekend.
Pan Bright’s Sales and Business Development Manager Nur Khadijah binti Abdullah extended the company’s appreciation to the thousands of customers who visited their booth and grabbing the travel deals offered throughout the three-day event.
“We would like to say a big thank you to all our valued customers as well as our business partners for their continuous support in making our 35th anniversary and first travel fair a success,” said Nur Khadijah.
Nur Khadijah disclosed that the most popular travel deals purchased were Kuala Lumpur as well as Japan, Korea, Australia and London while popular packages were their Europe, Korea and Japan tours.
