Inside Travel Group names Gabo Quiros as new trade manager

Quiros, who has previously held roles with Much Better Adventures, G Adventures and Intrepid, is rejoining the travel industry and will begin working for the company’s two brands, InsideJapan and InsideAsia Tours, from 5 June.

InsideJapan announced earlier this year its peak spring cherry blossom season had equalled its best on record – with more than 30% of business coming from trade partners, while InsideAsia launched new tours to South Korea in March.

Inside Travel Group, which also revealed last week it has secured B Corp status, is predicting the coming autumn to be the busiest in the company’s 23-year history.

“The travel trade is key to our business strategy. We are very much looking to continue the good work that our trade team have done over the years, and we believe that Gabo will bring fresh enthusiasm, ideas and experience into the company to enable us to continue building stronger relationships with all of our trade partners," said co-founder Simon King.

"I’m really looking forward to rejoining the travel industry with a well-respected brand and one so dedicated to creating a better and more sustainable industry. We will aim to work even closer with the trade providing high levels of service and the incredible holidays that we are renowned for,” said Quiros.

“I cannot wait to get involved with our agents, as all our destinations see steady increase in demand, but especially so with Japan and South Korea. I look forward to building better relationships with existing and new agents very soon.”
