Flight Centre Travel Group’s Envoyage independent agency network has appointed experienced sales executive Karen Dowling as Business Development Partner, bringing more than 30 years’ aviation and retail agency experience to the role.
Dowling will play a vital role in driving growth within the Australian market as the brand expands its member network.
Her previous roles include a 14-year stint as Business Partnership Manager Queensland at TravelManagers Australia along with tenures at Travel Indochina (now Insider Journeys), where she was the National Account Manager for Flight Centre, Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines.
National Sales Director Fiona Batten said: “Karen is incredibly well respected in the industry and we’re thrilled to have her on the team as we reinforce Envoyage as the leading independent travel network in the world.”
“Our key focus for the upcoming year is to welcome even more members to join our incredible network as we continue to expand across diverse global markets together.
“Karen’s extensive business development experience with independent travel professionals will be invaluable as we continue to grow the brand.”
Brisbane-based Dowling said she’s eager to be part of the brand’s growth journey and bolster its portfolio of travel entrepreneurs.
“I’m really looking forward to working with some incredible travel business leaders in Australia and showcasing the value of being part of Envoyage,” she said.
“Independent business ownership can be lonely at times, so being part of a network full of inspiring peers means there’s opportunity to share advice, find mentors and form friendships across the globe.”
Envoyage recently announced the destination for its second annual Worldwide 2025 event after the inaugural global outing in Santiago, Chile this year.
