The announcement was made at the recent 73rd Skal International World Congress, held in Seoul, in front of more than 500 worldwide delegates.
As President of Skål International, Singh’s goals are to increase the association’s membership and revenue, contain costs, encourage sustainable tourism practices, promote peace through tourism, protect children from exploitation in tourism, and position Skål as "the trusted voice in travel and tourism."
