TTC Tour Brands is pleased to announce that Aryan Taefi has joined the Australia sales team as Queensland’s newest Sales Manager. Aryan is very familiar with TTC Tour Brands having served as a Travel Director for 10 years. His first-hand experience taking care of guests will provide valuable insights to the TTC Tour Brands team and travel agent partners.
Aryan began his TTC career back in 2011, where a one-year overseas trip turned into a 10-year long career. He started with Contiki as a Travel Rep, living in Paris, Switzerland and Austria, assisting guests who came to join what was known as a Contiki ‘Concept Tours’. Aryan then moved up the ranks working for Contiki as a Travel Director across Europe and later Costsaver, then Trafalgar and finally Insight Vacations. Aryan consistently received very high customer satisfaction scores and was used to train new Travel Directors.
Aryan reflects on this time with fond memories; “I got the opportunity to travel around the world, meeting so many incredible people and experiencing so many memorable moments. However, my love of the outdoors, history, and pubs led me to spend most of my time in Ireland!”
The 2020 Pandemic put Aryan’s career on hold, but after a quick trip back to Ireland last year, his love for travel was reignited. Now living in Brisbane, he has his eyes set on inspiring travel agents with his same passion for the TTC Brands. He says, “I’m very excited to get back into it and with a company I am passionate about.”
Tomas Malmberg, Head of Trade Sales and Partnerships Australia, TTC Tour Brands is thrilled to welcome Aryan to the team; “We’re so happy to have Aryan join the team with his unique and valuable background as a highly respected Travel Director. He brings a great deal of practical experience that our sales team and trade partners are sure to benefit from.”
“With Aryan’s previous experience as a Travel Director across many of our brands, it is undeniable that his impact to the team will not go unnoticed.”
