TTG Asia Media

What TTG Asia Media does

TTG Asia Media Pte Ltd is a Singapore-incorporated private media company founded in 1974 that operates as a diversified publisher, event organizer, and B2B platform provider for the Asia-Pacific travel and tourism industry. The company runs five business groups: TTG Travel Trade Publishing (nine regional trade titles including TTG Asia, TTG China, TTG India, TTGmice, TTG-BTmice China, TTGassociations, TTG Asia Luxury, TTG Show Daily, and TTG Content Lab), TTG Maps & Guides Publishing (multilingual Singapore tourism maps and the Singapore Travelholic digital platform), TTG Events (eight proprietary trade events including IT&CMA, IT&CM China, IT&CM India, CTW Asia-Pacific, CTW China, the ASEAN Tourism Forum TRAVEX, Singapore Gifts Show, and the International Feng Shui Convention), TTG Global Commerce (the Roomonger B2B hotel booking platform with 24/7 real-time booking confirmation for travel agents), and TTG Representations (market activation services for international travel brands). Revenue is generated through five streams: recurring publication subscriptions, event registration and sponsorship, advertising and media partnerships, Singapore maps & guides distribution, and transaction fees on the Roomonger platform. The company is headquartered in Singapore with 51-100 employees and reports no parent company or external investment backing. Its authoritative positioning rests on institutional relationships with regional government tourism bodies, including Trade Media Partner status with the ASEAN Tourism Competitiveness Committee (ATCC) and endorsement of its maps & guides portfolio by the Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore Hotel Association, and Les Clefs d'Or Singapore.

The underlying technology footprint is modest and purpose-built rather than technology-led: Roomonger is the only digital platform with substantive technical features, providing API-style real-time room booking between travel agents and hotel suppliers, while the rest of the business is supported by standard publishing, event registration, and content distribution infrastructure. International media representative partnerships in Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, and the UK extend the publishing franchise into non-domestic markets. The company's go-to-market is event-driven and relationship-driven: flagship co-located events (IT&CMA + CTW Asia-Pacific in Bangkok; IT&CM China + CTW China in Shanghai; IT&CM India in Delhi) serve as both revenue generators and buyer-supplier matchmaking platforms. Pricing across all streams is not publicly disclosed, with media kits and rate cards available only through direct contact. Customer segments span travel trade professionals (primary), corporate travel managers, MICE planners, Singapore tourism businesses, and travel associations, with a deliberate vertical segmentation approach across the leisure, luxury, corporate, MICE, and association sub-sectors of Asia-Pacific travel.

Direct peers

• Skift: Skift is a leading digital media and research company covering the global travel industry, with conferences (Skift Forum), research reports, and a news platform. It is the most direct comparable to TTG Asia Media's B2B travel trade media model, though skewed toward digital-first and global rather than APAC-focused.
• Hotelbeds: Hotelbeds is the world's largest B2B bedbank, connecting travel agents with hotel inventory globally. It is the most direct competitor to TTG Asia Media's Roomonger B2B hotel room booking platform, operating at vastly greater scale.
• Northstar Travel Group: Northstar Travel Group owns flagship travel trade brands including Travel Weekly, Travel Age West, Meetings & Conventions, and Phocuswright, plus B2B events. Its portfolio of trade publications, events, and research directly mirrors TTG Asia Media's publishing-events-research model in the US/Europe.
• WebBeds (Webjet): WebBeds is a major global B2B accommodation distribution platform serving travel agents and tour operators. It directly competes with Roomonger in the B2B hotel distribution space across APAC and other regions.

Emerging players

• HotelRunner: HotelRunner is a B2B sales management and channel manager platform connecting accommodation providers with travel agencies and OTAs. It competes with Roomonger in the B2B hotel distribution space, particularly with smaller and mid-sized properties and agents in emerging markets.
• Phocuswright: Phocuswright (now part of Northstar Travel Group) is a travel industry research and media company producing Phocuswright Conference and research reports. Comparable as a B2B travel intelligence and events brand serving the same travel trade audience TTG Asia Media targets.

Broad incumbents

• Questex: Questex is a global B2B media and events company operating hospitality, travel, and wellness events and publications. It is comparable as a diversified B2B travel/hospitality media-and-events operator, though broader in scope than TTG Asia Media.
• Informa Markets: Informa Markets operates large-scale B2B exhibitions including travel and MICE events such as IMEX, Arabian Travel Market, and WTM. It is a much larger incumbent organizer of international trade events that compete for the same exhibitor and sponsorship budgets as TTG's IT&CMA and CTW events.
• IMEX Group: IMEX operates IMEX Frankfurt and IMEX America, the world's largest trade shows for the meetings, incentives, conferences, and events (MICE) industry. It directly competes with TTG's IT&CMA for international MICE buyers and suppliers, though at a much larger global scale.

Regional players

• TTG Media Limited (UK): TTG Media operates TTG (UK), a leading UK travel trade publication. Despite shared brand heritage, it serves the UK/European travel trade rather than APAC, and is a media representative partner of TTG Asia Media. Comparable as a regional travel trade media title, though geographically distinct.
