Hikida to leave PATA
The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) has announced the resignation of Ms Lyn Hikida, PATA’s Vice President of Operations.
PATA said Ms Lyn Hikida’s resignation will be effective from November 29, 2002.
Commenting on her departure, Mr Peter de Jong, PATA President and CEO, said: “Throughout her seven-year tenure with PATA, Lyn has distinguished herself as a consummate professional, who brought consistent high quality and sound judgement to her many assignments.
“While she will be greatly missed by her colleagues and our members, we wish her and her family all the very best, as they pursue new personal horizons and professional challenges.”
Ms Hikida, who joined PATA in San Francisco in 1995, moved to Bangkok in 1998 during the relocation of PATA headquarters. She said she is returning to California to be closer to her family.
