Brighton, UK (PRWEB UK) 19 November 2014 -- Commenting on Williamson’s appointment, Justin Francis, Managing Director and Co-founder of Responsible Travel said:

The business is a success; we’ve seen substantial growth in demand for content and for real and authentic travel experiences and this presents us with a tremendous opportunity to engage with a much wider audience.

Post this

“Tim’s appointment and the expansion of our management team comes at an exciting time for the business and the wider responsible tourism agenda. Authentic travel is one of the biggest trends in travel. We know that authentic travel is only possible when local people and places are treated with respect and have proven the link between authentic and responsible tourism. We also publish straight talking online travel information travellers can trust and use to make informed decisions about their holiday choices. This rapidly growing portfolio of 2-minute destination and activity guides feature what we rate and what we don’t as well as tips, advice and information on local issues travellers should know about.

“The business is a success; we’ve seen substantial growth in demand for content and for real and authentic travel experiences and this presents us with a tremendous opportunity to engage with a much wider audience. Tim’s extensive experience will ensure we are best positioned to accelerate business growth and demonstrate how responsible travel is the future of global tourism”.

Williamson, who has served as a Non-Executive Director on the Responsible Travel board for 18 months, starts his new role on 1st December. He commented: “Already Responsible Travel represents over 400 tour operators, all of whom have had to meet stringent environment and community standards, making it the largest meta site in the world for customers to easily find an authentic small group or tailored tour. This coupled with a rapidly expanding portfolio of responsible tourism content fuels the growing sense of momentum around authentic travel, and Responsible Travel as the leading aggregator in this growing part of the industry. My role is to help further this expansion , delivering both profits and principles. Authentic, responsible travel is no longer a niche option and I’m looking forward to increasing its profile via this exciting and dynamic digital business”.

The role of Director of Content & Marketing is a natural progression for Williamson, presenting him with an opportunity to unite heart and head combining the customer experience and marketing knowledge with responsible tourism and authenticity. Prior to Director of Customer Experience and Marketing at Monarch Airlines, Williamson was CEO of The Travel Department in Ireland, Customer Director at TUI UK, and an ABTA board director who chaired their Sustainable Tourism Committee and the Travellife Board and steering committee. He is also co-founder of Development Squared, a business-mentoring organisation designed to help Swazi companies as well as develop the management skills of senior UK executives.
