Claire King has joined Hays Travel’s in-house tour operator Vista in the new role of Trade Engagement Partner for the south region.
She will work alongside Ross Fagan, whose focus will shift to the north, and together they will cover the central region.
Claire joins Hays from Seaworld, where she was Senior Trade Support Executive. She has also previously worked as a Store Manager at both Kuoni and TUI.
“I’m really pleased to have joined Vista at such an exciting time in its growth,” she said. “Having worked as both a travel agent and tour operator I understand the pressure to please customers and the significant role tour operators have in understanding what agents need to meet customers’ expectations.”
Head of Vista Sales Kathleen Molloy said: “I am delighted to welcome Claire King to Vista as Trade Engagement Partner. Claire brings with her a wealth of travel knowledge from her roles with Seaworld, Kuoni, and Tui.
“Adding Claire to our team supports our growth plans and having her based in the south will really help us to meet our engagement objectives with agents across the country.”
