Tourism Society elects second woman chairman in 30 years

Saturday, 21 Jun, 2007 0

Alison Cryer, managing director of representation and PR company Representation Plus, has been elected chairman by the board of the Tourism Society.

She takes over from David Curtis-Brignell, who resigned after a three year term. He remains on the board as part of the executive committee.

Cryer is only the second woman chairman since the society was formed in 1977. She redesigned and restructured the society’s journal as the new editor since October 2006.

She said: “The future of the Tourism Society remains in its membership growth, anyone involved in any aspect of Tourism can apply.

“I am delighted to take over as chairman and will together with the board aim to increase awareness of the benefits of membership to a wider audience including overseas, encourage corporate membership and sponsorship while continuing to develop networking, debating and lobbying opportunities for members.”
