Steven Lek
STEVEN Lek has resigned from NATAS, effective since March 10, 2016, less than a year after taking on the role of executive director at the association.
Lek has stepped down from his position “in pursuit of his personal goals”, according to a statement signed by Devinder Ohri, president of NATAS.
“This is a loss for the association but we can only respect his decision and wish him the best. On behalf of the NATAS Executive Committee, I would like to thank Mr Lek for his dedication, hard work and valuable contribution to NATAS,” stated Ohri.
“I would like to wish Mr Lek every success in his future endeavors.”
Lek, an aviation and travel veteran, first joined NATAS on June 15 last year in a bid to revitalise the association, which had suffered fractious sentiments from key members in 2014.
The fallout resulted in some 24 outbound travel agencies including SA Tours, Chan Brothers Travel, Dynasty Travel, CTC Travel, and Nam Ho Travel setting up their own rival fair, Travel Revolution.
