IAAPA has announced the appointment of Andrew Lee as executive director for the trade association's new office in the Asia-Pacific region.
Lee, who will take up his position on September 16 and be based in Hong Kong, will be responsible for expanding and enhancing the association’s programmes and services in the region and will oversee government relations, communications, membership development, education and the Asian Attractions Expo.
A veteran of the travel and hospitality industry, Lee most recently served as director of business ventures for a joint alliance between AsiaWorld-Expo, Global Sources and Pico Global Services.
"Asia has the fastest-growing attractions industry in the world so it is only natural for IAAPA to open an office in the region," said IAAPA chairman Chip Cleary. "IAAPA Asia Pacific extends the trade association’s global presence and becomes the association’s third regional office, joining those already established in Europe and Latin America."
Lee will report directly to Charles Bray, president and CEO of IAAPA, and will work closely with the IAAPA Asian Advisory Committee. His e-mail will be [email protected].
