Wendy Wu Tours continues to strengthen its presence in Australia with the appointment of Emma Newton as the State Account Manager for Western Australia and South Australia. Emma brings a wealth of experience from the tourism industry and possesses excellent relationships within the sector, the company said.
Emma’s journey in the travel industry commenced with four years as a retail travel consultant for Helloworld. She then took her experiences as an agent to QBE where she was the Business Relationship Manager for its travel insurance product. She then moved to Air New Zealand, acting as its Business Development Manager for WA and the NT.
“We are so pleased to have Emma join our team,” Wendy Wu Tours Managing Director for Australia Simon Bell said.
“Driving business through our trade partners to share in the strength of the Wendy Wu brand is central to our sales distribution strategy.
“Emma will be responsible for the partnerships we have in the WA and SA markets to continue our rapid growth.”
According to Emma, a key aspect attracting her to the role, was the company’s welcome. It’s “where you’re not just a number and where you’re a part of the family”, she said.
“There is no other operator who can deliver the unique Wendy Wu experience,” Emma said.
“And after blazing trails throughout Asia for more than 25 years, it’s exciting to also now be part of the company’s growth into markets like the Middle East, Europe, Central Asia and Latin America too.
“I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my agent friends in WA and SA to see what we can achieve together.”
Emma Newton’s appointment follows other recent hires as the company boosts its State Account Manager team across Australia. She joins the company’s Angelina Briscoe in QLD/NT/Northern NSW, Lisa Farrugia in NSW/ACT and Christine Yatridis in VIC/TAS.
