You’ll likely soon hear from Roberta Abbondanza. Now responsible for reaching out to travel advisors and bringing them up to speed with Entire Travel Group’s new post-COVID business model, Roberta will update agents on Entire’s pre-designed, independent package holidays, all bookable 24/7 online.
Like it has for many companies, a lot has changed for Entire Travel Group over the last three years. And sales and marketing director Greg McCallum says the business development role is essential to ensure advisors have what they need to know to grow their businesses.
“Just before the industry closed, we merged key brands such as CIT Holidays and French Travel Connection into our Entire Travel Group brand,” says McCallum.
“Then we took the opportunity during the pandemic to completely reengineer our business model and build a ground-breaking online booking engine.”
Roberta started as a reservations consultant with Italian specialist CIT Holidays in 2017 and came across to Entire Travel when the company acquired CIT in 2018. Since then, she’s almost done it all, in roles including team leader, and most recently, travel and product advisor.
After the pandemic years and enforced distancing, Roberta says that she can’t wait to finally meet Entire Travel Group’s travel agent partners face-to-face.
“I’ve enjoyed many conversations with travel advisors in the past due to my reservations role and I am looking forward to building on these existing relationships and demonstrating how I can help grow their businesses,” she remarked.
Roberta can be easily accessed by those travel advisors working remotely. Simply request a Zoom meeting with her via the Entire Travel Group website https://www.entiretravel.com.au/agents.
In response to travel advisor feedback and high traffic, Entire Travel Group recently enhanced its travel advisor website at entiretravel.com.au.
