Share Your Industry Perspective and Expertise
TICO is launching two new advisory councils – the Industry Advisory Council and the Consumer Advisory Council – to provide input to the Board of Directors and TICO management.
Recruitment for both councils is now underway
“Industry members who have an interest in consumer protection and an enthusiasm around sharing their insights and perspectives are encouraged to apply. In return, council members will have the opportunity to network with other industry leaders, learn about other segments of the travel industry and serve as ambassadors for the industry.”
TICO’s President and CEO Richard Smart.
