The Association for Promotion of Tourism to Africa (Apta) has announced its new executive board, effective from August 1. The newly elected directors are, Todd Neuman, Executive Vice President: The Americas at SAA; Tracy Anderson, Manager at Carefree Vacations; and Kiki Paris, Owner and Founder of Wanderlust Portfolio.
For the first time, there was a tie with two nominees, and since two board members’ terms expire in 2018, Apta decided to offer both candidates a seat on the board.
