The Global Business Travel Association appointed two travel buyers and two supplier representatives to a new advisory board for Asia.

Buyer members are HSBC corporate business travel manager Jenny Ng and UBS Asia/Pacifc regional travel head Debbie Winston. Supplier members are Carlson Wagonlit Travel global business travel consultant Paul Boyle and Roger Pfund, Radius Asia/Pacific general manager for corporate sales and client services. According to GBTA Asia regional director Welf Ebeling, "Our first tasks as a group will be to establish the roadmap for education in the region and to identify a chairman to head up the new GBTA Asia advisory board in the long term. The network will be looking for further board members in the following months to be fairly represented in this ethnically and politically diverse region."
