Freddie Marsh resigns from Hyatt Inclusive Collection, hints at what's next

A very well-known and popular face to Canada's travel trade, Freddie Marsh has announced his resignation from Hyatt Inclusive Collection, stepping away from full-time corporate life but leaving the door open to another chapter in the travel industry.

When reached by PAX, Marsh said he is keeping his plans “top secret” for now, but expects to share more in a few weeks.

Marsh spent more than a decade with Playa Hotels & Resorts before transitioning to Hyatt following its acquisition of Playa in 2025.

Known for his energetic approach to business development and connections with travel advisors and suppliers, Marsh has been featured in PAX over the years through industry workshops, FAM trips and even a playful social media rivalry with former Playa colleague Amanda Morris.

In a social media post announcing his departure, Marsh said he is looking forward to a different pace, with more time for his husband, Dave, leisure travel, hiking, and biking.

“After years of promoting the perfect escape, I’ve decided it’s time to enjoy one of my own,” he wrote.

His plans are a familiar theme for longtime PAX readers. In 2020, Marsh and Dave were featured in PAX for their hiking adventures and YouTube project, Freddie Got Furloughed.

Marsh also reflected on the relationships he built throughout his career.

“I raise a glass to my Hyatt colleagues, travel advisors, industry partners, and friends who have made this journey so memorable,” he wrote.

While Marsh is leaving full-time corporate work, he hinted that his next move could bring him back to familiar territory.

“There may even be something on the horizon that brings part of my career full circle,” he teased, adding that more details would follow.
