Our Ethos
Our key philosophy towards running a successful event at Pathfinder Trade and Invest is ‘PDP’ - Pre, During and Post - which we believe makes for a unique added-value event.
Pre-Mission
- We can organise all hotel, travel and visa arrangements, offering tailor-made travel services if necessary, through our parent company, CT Travel Group.
- We pre-arrange a programme of activity including meetings, conferences, site visits and events, related to your objectives, to ensure your business needs are met and you maximise your time in the host country.
- We source our own ‘match-makers’, approaching both government and, where possible, private agencies.
- We offer expert guidance relating to all matters concerning the trip, from country information, cultural guidelines and ‘doing business’ advice.
- We review your needs and objectives to ensure we meet and, in the majority of cases, exceed your expectations.
- We arrange a pre-departure briefing meeting.
- We use our resources to find you the most reputable experts, mission leaders and high-profile individuals to assist you in meeting your objectives and also to raise the overall profile of the mission.
- We produce a mission brochure which will be used prior to, during and after the mission to advertise and promote your product or service.
During-Mission
- You will take part in a relevant and structured in-market programme
- Transportation will be arranged to all group meetings.
- You will have direct access to the mission leader who will be able to advise you or point you in the right direction with whatever needs you may have.
- Our parent company, CT Travel Group, will provide you with 24/7 customer support to address any problems related to your hotel and travel arrangements, should they arise.
Post-Mission
- We will conduct a post-mission survey to review and follow-up whether your expectations were met. These will be analysed and used for future planning.
- We work with you to understand the results you have achieved and establish how we can assist you further to build on your success.
- We provide a post-mission service offering advice or guidance to assist you in further strengthening the relationships made with your contacts.
- We often arrange a roundtable de-brief to analyse successes and difficulties experienced, if any.
