With hospitality management and hotel development experience in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, Tracey contributes a wealth of knowledge to the organisation. In New Zealand Tracey has been a strong contributor to the tourism industry in general, taking an active role in Convention Bureau and other industry organisations.  In October 2005 Tracey was elected onto the Conference and Incentives New Zealand Board.
