The Travel Corporation (TTC) Tour Brands has made sweeping changes to its travel trade support structure with a dedicated new Partner Marketing team for Australia and New Zealand plus an expanded Trade Sales team, highlighting TTC Tour Brands’ ongoing commitment to consortia and trade partners in the region.
The new structure consists of senior and supporting roles to ensure travel advisors can easily access sales, resources, insights and co-op support across Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Contiki.
Partner Marketing Director Oceania Louise Levesque will lead the new Partner Marketing team and oversee strategy across ANZ, ensuring campaigns align with consortia growth ambitions.
Rounding out the team are Mia Hamzic as Senior Partner Marketing Manager, who will focus on the execution of regional activity, and Partner Marketing Coordinator Bridgett Crumplin, who will provide day-to-day support, including campaign delivery and partner communications.
Levesque will work closely with TTC Tour Brands Senior Vice President Sales Oceania Andy Young to ensure seamless collaboration between marketing and sales.
In addition, TTC Tour Brands has also announced an expanded ANZ Trade Sales function, including new leadership roles, additional on-road sales and a dedicated Sales Development Team, designed to provide even stronger in-market support to its travel agent partners.
Reporting to Young, the Trade Sales team sees Jo Leckie promoted to Field Sales Director – QLD, SA & NZ and Melinda Wouda joining as Field Sales Director – VIC/TAS, NSW/ACT & WA/NT.
The structure has also been strengthened with four dedicated Strategic Account Managers: Nicole Rodgers will oversee the FCTG Oceania partnership, Tomas Malmberg will manage key consortia relationships, Marija Tolj will focus on the House of Travel partnership and Ki Williams continues to lead ANZ home-based and OTA accounts.
In an ANZ industry first, TTC Tour Brands has also created a new Sales Development Team, focused on supporting smaller and emerging agencies that may not receive regular in-person sales engagement.
Marija Tolj will lead the Sales Development Team, supported by TTC Tour Brands Sales Managers Suzy McPhail and Kayla McCarthy.
