Your Africa, one of Tourvest Destination Management’s (TDM) flagship brands, has recently appointed reputable UK company, Luxury Representation Collection (LRC) as their sales and marketing partner for the region, effective 01 August 2011.
Luxury Representation Collection is driven by its owner, Tesna Simonsen George, a well-known entity in both the South African and UK travel industry. Prior to her 2009 purchase of LRC, she worked for 7 years at another reputable representation house in the UK. As a native South African with her roots and her early years of experience in the country, she passionately represents Southern Africa to the UK and Irish markets for all of her clients, making her company the obvious choice when Your Africa made the decision to appoint a UK representation house.
Monika Iuel, Sales & Marketing Director of Your Africa is ecstatic about this new association, and has this to say: “This new appointment is an indication of Your Africa’s continued commitment to the UK market, as we believe that there is definitely growth potential within this particular region. Immediately upon meeting Tesna, and realising her focus and drive, I was confident that she would be the right person to represent our interests in the UK. I’m very excited about this new appointment.”
Whilst Tesna’s enthusiasm equally comes to the fore: “Further to visiting Monika and the team in the Your Africa offices in Sandton, it was very clear that everyone is extremely passionate, friendly, professional and dedicated to offering high levels of personalised service (everything I firmly believe in). I am incredibly proud to be an "extended" member of the Your Africa family, my main objective being to further strengthen the brand awareness in the UK market.”
Your Africa, as one of the main destination management companies bringing UK holiday-makers to Southern Africa, enjoys great competitiveness due to the consolidated buying power of Tourvest Destination Management, whilst guaranteeing the personal service of a boutique operation. .
It looks as though there are exciting times ahead for both Your Africa and Luxury Representation Collection!
