Patrick Richards

Patrick’s 35-year career spans leadership and transformational roles across the travel sector. This includes a 20-year stint on the executive committee of GTA, the pioneer in the hotel bedbank and groups segments, sold to Cendant for $1.1 billion in 2005. Post ’05, the company owners included Blackstone’s Travelport and Kuoni. As a core member of the management team, Richards drove change and revived growth. Joining Cox and Kings in 2013, as Chief Commercial Officer, he modernised the commercial face and globalised the group, additionally being appointed President of the business’ arm in the Americas and Ezeego1 Board Director (the on-line sister brand).

Between 2007-2014, Richards chaired the European Tourism Association (ETOA). Remaining as a director (from 2015 to 2021); he took on board-level responsibility for the association’s drive on positive climate action. It quickly became apparent to him that a real gap existed between travel & tourism’s sustainability rhetoric and real adoption across the commercial sector. This led to the creation of TerraVerde. Today, additional board roles are held in trade association the Nordic Tourism Collective, and an innovative tourism e-learning start-up LVG Learning.
