This award was established in honor of John and Joan Markham for the almost 30 years of dedicated service by John Markham as the stalwart financial planner and treasurer for the international Travel and Tourism Research Association. With Joan steadfastly at his side, the two of them have been unfaltering in their support for TTRA over the years and forever committed to its success. It is John’s impressive financial plan that has seen TTRA safely through some formidable financial years.
