Sandals Resorts Executive Chairman Adam Stewart has been named to the executive committee of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), a group committed to raising the awareness of governments and the public of the economic and social significance of the sector.
"I am honoured to join the Executive Committee of an organization I have so respected since the start of my career," says Stewart.
"This leadership team is passionately focused on the efforts of the travel and tourism sector and I am eager to contribute. Together, we will continue to promote an industry that is more sustainable and inclusive than it was yesterday, reminding our neighbouring industries and international governments that travel is an essential necessity to life."
The World Travel & Tourism Council represents the private sector of the global travel and tourism industry. Members include 200 CEOs, Chairs and Presidents of leading companies, from airlines to tour operators to hospitality groups.
"I am delighted to welcome Adam to the Executive Committee of WTTC," said Julia Simpson, President & CEO WTTC.
"Adam brings with him a wealth of experience having worked so closely with his late father to build what is now one of the most recognized brands in our industry. Myself and the entire WTTC family look forward to working with Adam in his new role."
A voluntary organization, WTTC says the original vision of the council's founding members remains the same: governments are to recognize travel and tourism as a top priority, business should balance economics with people, culture, and environment, and a shared pursuit of long-term growth.
