Abercrombie & Kent Travel Group (AKTG) has promoted Debra Fox to the new position of Managing Director for AKTG, UK and APAC, effective April 2025. This strategic move aligns with AKTG’s ongoing global expansion and commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences in key markets.
Fox, who has served as Managing Director for AKTG’s APAC region from Melbourne since 2022, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success to her expanded role. Her leadership was instrumental in navigating the challenges of the post-pandemic travel industry and strengthening AKTG’s presence in the APAC market.
Remarking on Fox’s appointment, Cristina Levis, CEO of AKTG said “Debra’s deep understanding of both the UK and APAC markets, coupled with her exceptional leadership skills, makes her the ideal candidate to drive our growth and expansion strategies in these key regions.”
Fox’s move to the UK marks a return for the seasoned travel professional, who previously held leadership positions with a footprint in the UK. Her extensive knowledge of the travel landscape and trade, combined with her recent experience in the dynamic APAC market, will be invaluable in fostering collaboration and innovation across both regions.
“I am honoured to take on this expanded role and excited to be working with the incredibly talented teams in both the UK and APAC,” Fox said.
“I look forward to leveraging my experience and insights to further strengthen AKTG’s position as a global leader in luxury travel,” said Fox.
Last month, A&K Travel Group announced the local promotions of both Susan Haberle (to Vice President of Sales for Australia/New Zealand with Abercrombie & Kent) and Tony Archbold (to Vice President of Sales for Asia with Crystal). Ann-Marie Chapman was also promoted to Global VP Education, Sales and Service in the region, while Sada Memic joined the team in the newly created role of Director of Sales and Reservations Centre APAC for AKTG brands.
