Rob Gurney has been elected to the position of vice chairman of Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA).

The decision was made at the AFTA Board Meeting last week, following the resignation of Peter Lacaze.

The former AFTA vice chairman also retired from his role as chief executive of the Jetset Travelworld Group.

“Rob is known to many within the industry and it is an excellent endorsement of the work AFTA is doing that he has joined the Board and has accepted the position of vice chairman of AFTA,” AFTA Jayson Westbury chief executive said.
