CNH Tours Elected to the board
We are pleased to report that on the 20th of June, Marc Patry (co-owner of CNH Tours with Heather Blenkiron) was elected to the board of directors of the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO). Of the 15 positions on this board, only 3 are elected by the 2,400 travel agencies in Ontario, who are obligated to be registered under TICO. All the others are appointed by either the Minister of Government and Consumer Services of Ontario or by industry associations.
TICO is an organization mandated by the Ontario government to administer the laws and regulations governing travel agencies with offices in Ontario, ranging from small home-based internet agencies (like CNH Tours) to the much larger corporate entities such as Carlson Wagonlit and Expedia Cruise Ship Centers. In addition, TICO administers an industry-financed Travel Compensation Fund.
Besides attending and contributing to overall TICO governance issues during regular board meetings, the position requires engagement in various working committees. It will be a busy time for the next three years.
