LEXINGTON, KY – Michele Michalewicz, CTP, yon pwofesyonèl vwayaj Salt Lake City ak prezidan Western Leisure, Inc. te enskri kòm prezidan 2009 ak Direktè Jeneral Asosyasyon Touris Nasyonal la. NTA se premye asosyasyon vwayaj pakè endistri a ki gen plis pase 3,000 manm atravè lemond.
Michalewicz te di: “Ane k ap vini an se yon bagay enpòtan pou endistri vwayaj ak touris. “Nouvo administrasyon an pral antre nan biwo pandan Amerik ap fè fas ak yon kriz ekonomik, men vwayaj ak touris gen kapasite pou chanje sa. An 2009, NTA pral kontinye kontakte Prezidan eli Obama ak manm kle Kongrè a pou ede akselere ekonomi an atravè vwayaj ak touris, epi mwen espere travay ak kòlèg endistri yo nan kreyasyon yon pake estimilis vwayaj. Anplis de sa, kòm Prezidan ak Direktè Jeneral NTA, mwen pral kontinye jwenn pi bon fason pou ogmante biznis pou manm nou yo pandan n ap jwenn nouvo fason pou fè fas ak ekonomi jodi a.”
Michalewicz te yon sipòtè endistri vwayaj la depi lontan, li te sèvi aktivman NTA nan plizyè komite e li te sèvi kòm volontè nan plizyè wòl depi 1988. Michalewicz te nan Western Leisure, Inc. depi 1987. Western Leisure se yon operatè touris ki ofri pwogram vwayaj Customized nan Etazini ak Kanada.
"Michele se yon lidè solid epi li pral sèvi asosyasyon an kòm endistri vwayaj ak touris ap fè fas ak anpil nouvo defi," te di prezidan NTA Lisa Simon, CTP. "Avèk lidèchip Michele ak tout konsèy NTA ak ekip lidèchip la, mwen gen konfyans NTA pral kontinye pote nouvo biznis bay manm li yo epi fè tande vwa li nan Washington pou amelyore manm NTA yo ak vwayajè yo atravè mond lan."
KISA POU RETIRE NAN ATIK SA A:
- In 2009, NTA will continue reaching out to President-elect Obama and key members of Congress to assist in accelerating the economy through travel and tourism, and I look forward to working with industry colleagues in the creation of a travel stimulus package.
- “With the leadership of Michele and the entire NTA board and leadership team, I am confident NTA will continue to bring new business to its members and make its voice heard in Washington for the betterment of NTA members and their travelers from around the world.
- Additionally, as chairman and CEO of NTA, I will continue to find better ways to increase business for our members as we find new ways of dealing with today's economy.
