Sullivan, who’s pictured above with marketing manager James Hewlett and head of international business, Christian Leibl-cote, said Australia was the fastest-growing market for Collette, which is continuing to expand its local sales force. Leibl-cote told travelbulletin Collette was seeing demand across the board, with Canada and Japan particularly strong as well as Europe and North America.
