Nominations are invited for a vacancy that, due to a change of employer, has arisen on the Council of Regions. Any Member may stand for election to the Council of Regions providing he or she is engaged in the travel business to a significant degree within the region for which they are standing.

There is one vacancy in the South Wales region.

The elected Member will serve until the AGM in 2021 and will automatically become either the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Region they represent, depending on their/the Regional Committee’s wishes. The elected Member is therefore expected to play an active role in that Region.
