The mega travel fair organised by the National Association of Travel Agents Singapore (NATAS) will be brought forward to between March 6 and 8 next year.

This move comes after 24 travel agencies pulled out of its March fair next year and said they would be running their own rival fair.

The Outbound Travel Fair, will be held from March 27 to 29, the same dates that the NATAS fair was initially planned for.

The breakaway agencies were earlier displeased at NATAS’ lack of transparency in how it made use of proceeds from its travel fairs and its unwillingness to reduce booth rentals and admission fees.

The NATAS travel fair next March will be held in Halls 8 and 9 of the Singapore Expo. Admission to the two travel fairs organised by NATAS next year will be free. Previously, admission fee was S$4.
