The United Federation of Travel Agents’ Associations (UFTAA) held its annual elections for its board of directors on November 21. Mr. William Tan, president of NATAS in Singapore, was re-elected to head the federation as its president. Mr. Mario Bevacqua was elected as vice president, along with Mr. Patrick Mwale as vice president of finances.

UFTAA originates from the Universal Federation of Travel Agentsโ€™ Associations that was created in Rome, Italy, 43 years ago. UFTAA was originally founded as a result of a merger of two large world organizations unifying travel agencies and tour operators into one international federation. Along with the election of new board members, two new associations were welcomed on board: ATTAC (Abu Dhabi) and MTOA (Mongolia).
