They will be among several hundred other travel enthusiasts and travel promoters including Africa.com who recently sponsored Rethink Africa, an out-of-the-box networking charity event designed to promote a better understanding of the beauty and opportunity in Africa.
“We are proud to be representing Passport Health as a national travel medicine entity at the Travel and Adventure Show this weekend.” Stated Ken Bear. “We look forward to establishing connections with other great businesses in the travel industry.”
The Expo is sponsored in part by the Africa Travel Association (ATA) of which Passport Health’s Corporate Director of Business Development, Jorge Castillo, is an international board member.
“We are working together with the ATA to promote safe travel into the African Continent, and all destinations around the globe”, stated Mr. Castillo. “In addition to serving hundreds of thousands of travelers to countries like India, China, Brazil and Mexico, we are cognizant of the opening of the African Continent. American companies are beginning to move into Africa and international arrivals into the African continent increased by 5% in 2009.” He pointed out that other continents, including Asia, Oceania and Europe, saw a decrease—not an increase—in international arrivals.
“We are prepared and ready to continue to provide our clients with the best pre-departure medical care whether they are traveling for business, leisure or to volunteer. Our goal is to assure that each traveler is well informed and immunized so that his/her trip is a complete success,” he concluded.
Passport Health has 170 locations nationwide, including several in the New York Metro Area, Philadelphia, Delaware and New Jersey. For more information visit www.passporthealthusa.com
