Newly created role to oversee partner relationships, cruise strategy and cruise groups.
Kathy Pavlidis has just been appointed to a new dedicated Cruise Manager role within Flight Centre Travel Group’s upmarket Travel Associates brand, reporting to Head of Product, Adam Townsend.
Pavlidis is a former Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Cruise Consultant of the Year and has run the successful Travel Associates Kew outlet for some years, making her “an obvious choice for this coveted position,” an update to the Travel Associates network notes.
She will be responsible for owning and managing Travel Associates’ cruise groups division, driving strategy with luxury cruise partners and “working to continuously upskill the Travel Associates advisor network to grow their cruise expertise and CLIA training opportunities”.
Every Travel Associates office across Australia and New Zealand will also now become a member of CLIA, the update confirms.
