The PR agency, which has its headquarters in New York, has set up the advisory board to help support travel clients’ recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Rifai was the secretary-general of the UNWTO from 2009 to 2018 while Scowsill spent seven years as chief executive and president of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC).
The creation of the advisory board has been led by London-based Debbie Flynn, who is Finn’s global travel practice leader.
Flynn said: “I have known David and Taleb for many years as our paths crossed on the global travel circuit. I cannot think of a better ‘dream team’ to initiate the Finn Partners Travel Practice Advisory Board.
“Their wealth of experience will support our work to provide cross-practice expertise to current and future clients as we set out on the path to recovery this year.”
