In her new role as Head of Membership, Taylor is committed to demystifying Aito within the wider travel industry. She intends to explore untapped opportunities and highlight the association’s benefits, thereby strengthening Aito’s appeal and perceived value among businesses. Taylor underscores Aito’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and customer satisfaction, which mirrors her own professional values.
