"Dear PATA Members, Industry Partners and Media",
Greetings from the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA). On behalf of the PATA Board, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Dr. Mario Hardy for his leadership of our Association over the past 6 years as the CEO.
We have been fortunate to have Mario at the helm of this organization as our industry and the Association has dramatically evolved and grown over the past few years. He has been especially effective in helping our Association transition its digital communications and operations effectively, and he has been a strong advocate for sustainability which, naturally, has become more critical to us all with the impending climate change challenges on our planet.
We are pleased that Mario will continue to work with us as we transition to a new CEO and we wish him all the best when he does leave our Association to new endeavors.
We will communicate our process for selecting a new CEO to members soon. This will be a transparent and competitive process to select the best candidate possible as we enter another period of dynamic change for our Association.
