The President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, James Hogan, has been named World Tourism and Travel Council’s (WTTC) Vice Chairman for the Middle East and Africa.
The announcement was made at the 12th WTTC Global Summit being held at the Pamir Convention Centre in Tokyo, Japan this week.
Speaking from Tokyo, Mr. Hogan said he was delighted to accept the position of WTTC Vice Chairman for the Middle East and Africa and looked forward to playing a major role in planning the 13th WTTC Global Summit to be held in Abu Dhabi in April/May 2013.
Mr. Hogan said it was an honour for Abu Dhabi to host the 13th WTTC Global Summit in 2013 and I’m confident that next year’s Global Summit will provide further stimulus for travel and tourism growth to the UAE capital.
“The WTTC Global Summit in Abu Dhabi next year will not only build on this momentum but also showcase the Emirate’s abundance of world class tourism infrastructure and attractions, which are the product of millions of dollars of investment by the Abu Dhabi Government.
