Paul Ruden Joins Travel Market Report
Paul Ruden, former ASTA Executive Vice President-Legal & Industry Affairs, has joined Travel Market Report as a contributor. In his new role, Ruden will write a monthly column on broad issues affecting the travel-agency community.
Ruden is a well-known figure in the travel industry, having retired from ASTA in September. During his 25 years there, he gained a reputation as one of the industry's strongest advocates for retail travel professionals.
Commenting on the appointment, co-publisher Anne Marie Moebes said, "Having known Paul for over 20 years, I am thrilled to have him join our Travel Market Report team, sharing his breadth of industry and legal experience, and giving insight and advice to the travel-agency community. Paul will add another level of expertise and integrity to Travel Market Report."
Paul Ruden said, “I am excited to have the opportunity to share some observations and commentary about the travel business with the community of travel agents for whom I have worked for so many years. Travel Market Report is a major source of industry intelligence that all agents should read. I continue to consult with ASTA on industry issues and expect these two roles to be mutually supportive.”
