New appointment announced: Man named Wehrmann takes over CEO position at DRV

The German Travel Association (DRV) is set to welcome a new CEO as of June 1st, with Achim Wehrmann taking over from Dirk Inger, who is leaving the industry association after a decade in the role.

Dirk Inger has voluntarily decided to step down from his position at the DRV. His tenure saw significant growth and development within the association, and he will be remembered for his contributions.

Achim Wehrmann, a native of Ostwestfale, is no stranger to the world of transportation. He has been leading the Shipping department at the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport since late 2008. In this role, he played a crucial part in the development and implementation of various strategies.

Recently, Achim Wehrmann was also involved in the development of the National Port Strategy, a significant initiative adopted by the federal government. This strategy is expected to shape the future of Germany's ports and maritime industry.

Before his work in the crisis and security sector of the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport, Achim Wehrmann led the Shipping department at the same ministry. The details of his professional background before this point are not currently available.

As of November 2023, Achim Wehrmann has been leading the "Crisis and Security" unit at the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport. This experience will undoubtedly prove valuable in his new role at the DRV.

Dirk Inger, on the other hand, is leaving the DRV at his own request. His departure follows a decade of dedicated service to the association, during which he undoubtedly made a lasting impact.

The German Travel Association, as an industry association, plays a vital role in shaping and supporting the travel industry in Germany. With Achim Wehrmann at the helm, it is expected to continue its growth and development.

This transition marks an exciting new chapter for both the DRV and Achim Wehrmann, as he brings his wealth of experience from the federal ministry to the private sector. The travel industry can look forward to the leadership and vision that Achim Wehrmann is known for.
