Inside Travel Group has appointed senior travel consultant Holly Brown its new business development manager.
The Asia specialist said it was encouraged to expand its trade sales team after seeing growing sales for its InsideJapan and InsideAsia brands.
InsideJapan is set to equal record 2019 numbers this autumn, while sister brand InsideAsia just reported a record August thanks to bookings for South Korea and Vietnam products.
Brown takes up her new BDM role after holding the position of senior travel consultant for more than six years.
UK trade manager Gabo Quiros, who joined the company in June, said: “We have big growth plans for Inside Travel and we believe that we can find that within the trade.
“We know that our brands are the best when it comes to the likes of Japan and South Korea. We have been improving our services throughout the company, recruiting 80 staff including sales, sales support and operations teams across the globe to enable us to give agents everything they need.”
Prior to joining the group in 2017, Brown spent two years living in Japan, building her knowledge of the country.
She has “vast” travel and sales experience with Japan, South Korea and other south-east Asian destinations, according to Inside Travel Group.
Brown added: “We have a lot of agent events coming up over the next three months, and I plan to meet with some of our most loyal partners and potential partners too.
“It’s a really exciting time for us and I can’t wait to share it with our agent partners.”
