The new team at the helm of the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India held its first Executive Committee meeting yesterday. Two past Presidents, Mr. Tejbir Singh Anand and Mr. Ajeet Bajaj, have been co-opted into the executive committee. In addition, Capt Swadesh Kumar, the immediate past president, took his rightful place in the Executive committee. ATOAI regrets the unintended omission of Capt Swadesh Kumar’s name from the previously published list of EC members. 
All three doyens of the industry bring with them a wealth of experience, and will work alongside the rest of the management team to continue to take forward adventure tourism in India.
