Richard Toomer succeeded Kurt Janson on Monday (31 October) as executive director of the organisation, which represents more than 65 trade organisations across inbound, outbound and the domestic tourism sector.
Toomer’s task will be to work with the Tourism Alliance’s board and executive, headed up by Etoa’s Tom Jenkins, to ensure tourism industry stakeholders present a united message to government, parliament and other policymakers, while seeking mutual understanding of each other’s priorities and concerns.
