VETERAN UK tour operator Paul Graham died yesterday after succumbing to cancer.
Graham was a director with Silverbird and, in the past year, a valued member of Chic Locations. In his many years as a tour operator, he had built long-lasting relationships with suppliers from the Far East and specialised in selling destinations such as Hong Kong and Thailand.
Chic Locations’ David Kevan said Graham’s sense of humour never left him as he fought cancer, and that he was still checking on clients’ requests up to his last days.
“We wish him well in his journey now. He will be fondly remembered by all who knew him,” said Kevan.
Said The Minor Group Thailand’s Skip Heinecke: “Paul was a real professional and always a gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He will be missed by a great many of us.”
Prachoom Tantiprasertsuk, general manager, The Regent Chalet, Regent Beach Cha Am – Hua Hin, added: “It is a shock for me to lose a good friend like Paul who has supported me for over 20 years since I met him. May he rest in peace. He will be missed by all of us.”
