One of Sydney’s most experienced and respected hoteliers has been elected unopposed as the new chair of the state’s foremost tourism accommodation body.
Antony Page, General Manager of The Sydney Harbour Marriott nominated for the position at the first meeting of the new Tourism Accommodation Australia NSW board.
It is a new era for TAA NSW with a new CEO, chair and board as well as new multi-million dollar offices in the Sydney CBD marking a rejuvenation of the Association.
TAA NSW and National CEO Michael Johnson congratulated Mr Page.
“Antony Page is well respected right across our industry and he will be a great asset to TAA NSW moving forward,” he said.
“The new board will benefit from his years of experience and I have full confidence he is the right person to provide direction and leadership in what is an exciting period for both TAA and the sector.”

“There’s no doubt this is a talented brains trust made up of experienced hoteliers who are passionate about the future of our industry,” he said.
“The meeting focused on the sharing economy, the skills and labour shortage and the high costs of energy to hotels – it was marked by enthusiasm and energy about finding new ways to move the accommodation sector forward. Harnessing new ideas will be an important focus with an upcoming strategy meeting already planned.”
