contribution that Richard has made to the Council over the past thirteen
years and follows the highly successful launch of the WTTC China Report,
which was covered extensively by many of the leading media organisations
in China and around the world. After the launch, approximately 10,000
copies of the Report, in Chinese and in English, were downloaded from WTTC�s
web site.
Most recently, Richard Miller has been largely focused on managing and growing the production and delivery of WTTC�s economic research, which, amongst other credits, now forecasts the impact of Travel & Tourism on the economies of over 160 countries worldwide. Richard Miller is highly sought as an expert and speaker on the economics and policy issues of Travel & Tourism around the world.

The first top-level meeting of the China Initiative will take place in early 2004 in Shanghai and is being hosted by:
He continued: �During one of the industry�s most difficult periods, the SARS crisis, Richard Miller was able to capitalize on the situation and deliver one of WTTC�s most important successes to date. I am delighted that he will be so closely involved in moving forward with the China initiative.� About The World Travel & Tourism Council
