MEET THE CTO MEMBER

- SAM DOWLING Product & Purchasing Manager, Kuoni

Q TELL us about your new Caribbean

programme? We’ve just added Serenity at Coconut Bay in Saint Lucia as well as the Mount Nevis Hotel on Nevis, which is a beautiful plantation house.

Q WHAT CTO activities does Kuoni get

involved with? From the Meet the Media event to the Media Awards at World Travel Market, we use every opportunit­y to be involved in the media relations programme. We also take part in AGMs, agents’ training days and trade show events like the legendary World Travel Market Street Party.

Q WHAT don’t readers know about Kuoni? Kuoni has been around for over 53 years – and we’ve featured the Caribbean from day one. We’ve got an exclusive resort in Antigua, Keyonna Beach, which is only bookable through Kuoni. It’s a hugely popular adults-only hotel and a real hit with honeymoone­rs.

Q WHAT’S your Caribbean tip? Its appeal goes way beyond just romance; I’ve been out with the family and it’s brilliant for children of all ages. I love the diversity and how every island is different.
