Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) has appointed Debra Fox to the role of Managing Director for UK and APAC, effective April 2025, stating that the move aligns with AKTG’s ongoing global expansion.

Currently based in Melbourne, Debra Fox has served as Managing Director for AKTG’s APAC region since 2022. She brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to her expanded role. Her previous industry appointments include 17 years at APT Travel Group.

“Debra’s deep understanding of both the UK and APAC markets, coupled with her exceptional leadership skills, makes her the ideal candidate to drive our growth and expansion strategies in these key regions,” said AKTG CEO Cristina Levis. 

Fox’s move to the UK marks her return, having previously held leadership positions with a footprint in the UK. AKTG says that her extensive knowledge of the travel landscape and trade, combined with her recent experience in APAC, will be invaluable in fostering collaboration and innovation across both regions.

“I am honoured to take on this expanded role and excited to lead the talented teams in both the UK and APAC”, said Debra Fox. 

“I look forward to leveraging my experience and insights to further strengthen AKTG’s position as a global leader in luxury travel.”

Earlier this month, AKTG announced the appointments of Susan Haberle to the role of Vice President Sales for Australia and New Zealand (AU/NZ) and Tony Archbold as Vice President Sales for Asia.
