SPAA vice-president Tibbert takes over from Joanne Dooey, who has served her two-year term. Jacqueline Dobson, president of Barrhead Travel, will take up Tibbert’s previous role as vice president of the association.
Tibbert said he was "proud and humbled" to accept the presidency and shall wear the chain of office "with pride".
"The past two years or so have no doubt been the most traumatic for the travel industry and we do not go forward wearing blinkers nor being unaware of hurdles or curve balls that will no doubt be sent our way," he said.
