Digital Agency for the Tourism Industry
Business Development Director
Job title: Business Development Director
Home base: London
In an industry that’s constantly evolving, TourismSolved’s Pierre Antoine Geslot knows being adaptable and creative in a business development role is crucial. As the main point of contact to suppliers and tour operators, Pierre always has to be ready to understand what business problems to solve. “Our role is to bring them our expertise and knowledge to make sure they keep growing their business,” he says.
Over the last 10 years, Pierre has worked with a variety of tour operators and hotel suppliers, assisting them in product development, pricing strategies, and more at OTAs like Travco LTD and most recently Tripadvisor. His roles in travel have afforded him the opportunity to live in different countries, and as a result changed his personal outlook. “After living for the first time in the UK (Ipswich), I learned a lot about different cultures, especially to be more open-minded,” Pierre mentions.
Along the way, he has even found some of his favorite places in the world, in particular Western Canada such as Kelowna, the Okanagan Valley, Vancouver, and Whistler.
The relationships with people, we all love travelling and want to keep exploring.
The opportunity to travel and explore new culture and places.
People want to explore like locals, and the online world plays a very important role particularly after this pandemic experience. Today, if you want to get an ice cream in your city, you’re going to make sure the location is open, and you’ll want to read reviews to know how good it is. For any business, online search is going to be essential. It is why being proactive and efficient with your digital marketing strategy is essential.
1. Think like a traveller
