Escorted tours specialist Journeys of Distinction has started selling through travel agents for the first time since its launch 35 years ago.
The company has appointed former Wendy Wu Tours’ business development manager Sue Copper as new agency sales manager to develop its new relationship with the travel trade.
Copper has over 30 yeas experience in the travel industry, including sales roles with Britannia Airways, Eurolines and Wallace Arnold, before taking on her former role with Wendy Wu Tours, where she worked for six years.
Journeys Karen Gee said: “We’re very pleased to have Sue on board. She has exceptional understanding of the travel industry and first hand experience of long haul travel and escorted touring holidays. She’s going to be a real asset for us as we move into trade sales for the first time”.
Copper added: "This is a major milestone for the company and one that I’m very pleased to be a part of."
