SA Tourism appoints new Trade Relations Manager in Australia

Sydney – Juliette Myers has joined the South African Tourism team as the new Trade Relations Manager and is fast settling in to her new role in the Sydney office.

Previously, Juliette enjoyed twenty years in the travel and tourism industry, gaining valuable experience in her most recent role as Australian Sales Manager for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts USA.

“I have always enjoyed the challenge that comes with travel and tourism. I like to set a target and think of creative ways to meet it,” said Juliette. She described her new role with South African Tourism as unique and exciting.

“I always have my mind in two places – one in Australia and one in South Africa. The cultural differences keep things so interesting, it’s no wonder Australians love to visit South Africa,” she added.

Within the first two months of Juliette’s appointment as Trade Relations Manager, she visited South Africa for the INDABA conference to explore opportunities within South Africa to become one of the world’s leading tourist destinations.

“As soon as I arrived in South Africa, I fell in love with it. The offering for tourists is fantastic. There really is something for everyone, from food and wine, luxury spas and accommodation to safari adventures.

I was also excited to discover the outstanding facilities and opportunities for businesses from all around the world to hold conferences and meetings in South Africa. It is an ideal location for global business teams to come together for productive planning, development, assessment and team-building,” said Juliette.

Bangu Masisi, General Manager, South African Tourism Australasia, is thrilled to have Juliette on board. “Juliette brings to South African Tourism a wealth of knowledge that is both refreshing and exciting. I am confident that the skills within our team will build South Africa to be a number one tourism and trade destination for Australians,” said Bangu.
