Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Rishi Deepak Budhadev, National President of PTAHA, stated:
"PTAHA was established with a vision to bring travel agents, tour operators, hotels and hospitality professionals together under one platform. We strongly believe that an association must function on democratic principles, transparency and equal opportunities. Conducting elections and allowing members to choose their representatives is an important step towards fulfilling that vision.
We sincerely thank every member who participated in the election and exercised their democratic right. However, we also encourage those who could not participate to become more actively involved in future elections and association activities. PTAHA belongs to its members, and every member's voice and vote matter."
PTAHA is a Section 8 not-for-profit company, committed to supporting the interests of professionals across India's travel, tourism and hospitality sectors.
The association continues to work towards creating nationwide business opportunities through participation in leading travel trade exhibitions, collective branding initiatives, networking platforms, member promotions, industry representation, business support and exclusive familiarisation trips.
With this new leadership development, PTAHA aims to strengthen its internal governance, expand its membership network and create more meaningful opportunities for its members.
The association firmly believes that its strength lies not only in its leadership but also in the active participation, trust and collective efforts of its members.
Together, PTAHA looks forward to a new chapter of leadership, collaboration, transparency and growth for India's travel, tourism and hospitality industry.
