World Tourism Association for Culture and Heritage Appoints Nigel Fell as President and CEO

(28 Oct 2021) Nigel Fell, the former Chief Commercial Officer of the World Tourism Association for Culture and Heritage (WTACH), has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Chris Flynn, the former CEO, will assume the position of Executive Chairman.

Flynn, who is based in Australia, said the new internal arrangement would help WTACH better serve its global membership base and make it easier to fulfill engagement requests and commitments on behalf of destinations and tourism stakeholders.

With travel restrictions around the world gradually easing, Fell said that WTACH is “ready” to help governments and industry better manage their cultural and heritage tourism assets, experiences and delivery through training modules and advising on robust policy and procedure protocols.

Fell, who is based in Europe, will attend the Qatar Travel Mart and Conference in Doha next month where he will make two keynote presentations and join panel discussions.
