New appointments at Insight

Insight Vacations has appointed Julia Wong as marketing manager for Canada and Ian Lyne as sales manager for GTA & Northern Ontario.

Wong joins the Insight Vacations team with a rich and varied background in luxury and adventure travel having previously worked as a marketing manager for Tully Luxury Travel, and as an integrated marketing specialist at G Adventures.

In her new role, Wong is responsible for providing development, execution and support of regional marketing strategies to the Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold brands.

Lyne has spent the last few years leading vacations for Contiki and Insight Vacations as a trip manager in Sydney, Australia. After travelling to more than 60 countries and escorting more than 1,000 passengers through Europe, Lyne will be responsible for supporting agents in his region through trainings, marketing initiative, destination knowledge and more.

In an email to PAX, both Wong and Lyne said they are looking forward to their new roles at Insight.

"I am so excited for the opportunity to be a part of Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold," Wong said. "I am looking forward to engaging with all of our partners and building long-lasting and successful relationships promoting the Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold brands."

"I am truly thrilled to be working as part of the Insight Vacations team here in Canada," said Lyne. "After escorting trips through Europe for 4 years I am thrilled to share my destination knowledge and the true joy that comes from traveling with the best in the business, Insight Vacations. It is a pleasure and honor to inform our travel agents and potential guests about the experiences they can have whilst traveling with us."
