The Pacific Asia Travel Association has launched a new membership category for budding tourism leaders of tomorrow.
First mooted at PATA’s 2016 Travel Mart, the Young Tourism Professionals (YTP) membership category is open to students aged 18-35 years who are enrolled at certified educational institutions.
Benefits include networking and job seeker resources, 25% discount on student rates for PATA annual events and PATAcademy-HCD training sessions.
They will also get priority consideration for PATA Intern and Associate Programmes.
"As we embrace 2017 as the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, the development of Young Tourism Professionals is our primary focus. This new membership category strengthens our commitment to raise the voices of tomorrow’s tourism leaders," said PAA CEO Mario Hardy.
"I encourage all students looking to grow their respective networks, insights and careers to join us and work with us to develop a more responsible and sustainable travel and tourism industry within the Asia-Pacific region and beyond."
