Committees

At the association’s meeting, the full members elect three committees from among themselves: The Tour Operator Committee, The Travel Services Committee and The Finland Incoming Committee. Partner members also elect a committee from among themselves. Each committee consists of a chair, a vice-chair, and a maximum of eight members. The committees discuss and prepare issues related to their respective areas of responsibility, which are central to the Association’s activities at any given time, and bring their views to the attention of the Association’s Board to assist the Board in its decision-making.

The chair, vice-chair, and other members of the committees serve for a term of two years.
