Evolution Travel Collective (ETC) has expanded its national sales team with the appointment of Richard McKisack as a new Regional Business Development Manager, bringing more than 20 years’ experience and expertise to the role.
As ETC’s newest BDM, McKisack will provide dedicated support, training and product updates for travel advisors in NSW, ACT and Gold Coast regions, working closely with them to help grow their sales and ensure they have the tools and knowledge to succeed.
With a wealth of tourism and travel sales and business development nous, McKisack has previously worked with ETC Co-Founder Ingrid Berthelsen as a Rail Plus BDM.
He joins from his most recent role at local touring company Deanes Coaches Group and is well-regarded for his professionalism, strong retailer relationships and regional market expertise.
Berthelsen said his extensive experience working with touring, FIT and rail products aligns perfectly with the tourism and travel representation company’s diverse suite of brand partners.
“We couldn’t be more delighted to have Richard on board. His background with a vast array of travel brands and established trade partner relationships in the region will be instrumental as we expand our representation portfolio and enhance our support to retail agents across the region,” she said.
McKisack added: “I’m thrilled to be joining ETC during this period of growth and I look forward to reconnecting with familiar agents and establishing new connections across my region. ETC’s comprehensive product portfolio aligns with my passion for delivering outstanding travel experiences and support for my agents.”
ETC will be part of the 2025 Niche is Nice boutique roadshow for travel advisors as a Gold Plus Sponsor.
