Hingerty steps down from ATEC

Matt Hingerty, managing director of the Australian Tourism Export Council for the past five-and-a half-years, will leave the organisation early next year.

ââ¬ÅâœI strongly believe in renewal, and after six years I believe it is time for a change - for both me and for ATEC,ââ¬~ he said.

Hingerty said the achievement of which he was most proud was the fostering of the industry's youth through Young ATEC. ââ¬~¨ ââ¬~¨

"There is a massive generational change underway in the industry at the moment, with brilliant young people coming through the ranks bringing a renaissance of new ideas and new passion.

"At the same time they are respectful and hungry for the knowledge of our industry's pioneers. I am absolutely certain that because of them, our industry, and ATEC will thrive in the future.ââ¬~

Hingerty said he has no firm plans ââ¬Åâœother than engineering more time with my large and rapidly growing familyââ¬~.

ATEC said that the position of managing director will be advertised in national newspapers in mid-August.
