THE FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF KEY TRAVEL, Ajay Sodha, will replace Michael Hare as chairman of the Guild of Travel Management Companies (GTMC) from January next year.
Sodha was elected deputy chairman at the group's annual general meeting on January 18 this year after Carlson Wagonlit Travel's Andrew Waller chose to stand down, and will take over as chairman at the next AGM in London in 2012. Hare will preside over his last overseas conference in Abu Dhabi in May.
