TRAVEL industry
heavyweight,
Allan Lunz,
deputy chairman
of BidTravel,
will retire from
his day-to-day
functions at the
company at the
end of December.
Thereafter, he
will remain on the BidTravel
board until the end of July
next year, which
coincides with his
retirement age at
Bidvest.
Allan has been
in the travel
industry for over
three decades
and has been with
BidTravel since its
inception, when
Bidvest purchased
his business. For
the last 12 years, he has
been the head of BidTravel.
Bidvest Travel Holdings ceo,
Lidia Folli, said many of the
successes at BidTravel and
the other companies led by
Allan had been as a result of
his foresight and successful
conclusion of negotiations
with large travel management
companies. “His wise
counsel will certainly still be
sought in the coming years.”
Commenting on his plans,
Allan said: “I will be staying
in the travel industry in some
shape or form.”
