Our newly formed Executive and Management teams represent a range of organisations who can provide us with the deep expertise to take us into the future.”
“I would like to personally thank our previous Deputy Chair, Scott Lovett (Tourism Northern Territory) who has stepped down this year after serving two terms during a highly challenging time for our industry.”
