THE Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA) has elected Supharerk Soonrangura to succeed Suthipong Phuenphiphop as president.
Supharerk, who is also managing director of NS Travel & Tours, started his two-year term on April 28, TTG Asia e-Daily confirmed with TTAA.
According to Thai-language news agency Prachachat.net, Supharerk envisioned the new TTAA as one whose committee would work together with members across three generations – industry veterans with the relevant experience and connections, middle-generation professionals who have achieved success in their work, and a younger generation with creativity and new ways of thinking.
TTAA also aims to encourage its members, especially the younger ones, to become more involved in the industry; build on greater transparency within the organisation and enhance the capability of Thai tour operators in anticipation of stronger competition with the advent of AEC 2015, revealed Supharerk.
