Walshe Group snags Excite-ing new Abu Dhabi country manager

The Walshe Group has appointed Jennifer Gaskin to the role of Country Manager for Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi).

Gaskin has nine years’ experience in journalism, public relations and marketing under her belt, and hails from Excite Holidays, where she worked most recently as marketing communications manager.

Gaskin has also previously worked as a features writer for National Geographic Kids and Making Magazine.

“I am very excited about leading the TCA Abu Dhabi account for The Walshe Group, and to work towards promoting Abu Dhabi as an exciting tourism and MICE destination,” said Gaskin.

Jacqui Walshe, managing director of The Walshe Group, added, “We are delighted to have Jennifer join us in heading up the TCA Abu Dhabi account; she brings a great understanding of the Australian travel and tourism landscape.”

Abu Dhabi will see many developments and events in 2017, with large infrastructure projects such as the much anticipated opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, an array of stunning new hotels and resorts and the ongoing development of the emirate’s cruise sector serving the recently opened Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal.

Highlights of the year’s events calendar include the dramatic exhibition Abu Dhabi Art, the festival of music Abu Dhabi Classics, the annual Abu Dhabi Food Festival which incorporates Gourmet Abu Dhabi and the season-ending and often championship-deciding Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“With so much on the horizon, the team is excited and eager to get to work inspiring more Australian visitors during the coming year – there truly is something for everyone,” added Walshe.
