InsideJapan and InsideAsia Tours parent company Inside Travel is looking for a new Trade Manager following the announcement Matt Spiller is to leave.

Matt has been with the specialist for 14 years, starting in 2009 as the only trade-facing Travel Consultant, before becoming Trade Manager in 2013.

Like many of the staff at InsideJapan Tours, Matt joined the company having lived in Japan for several years.

He is moving to Small Luxury Hotels of the World as Trade Marketing and Community Manager.  

Company Co-founder and Directors Alastair Donnelly, and Simon King said Inside Travel remains fully committed to the trade and recognise agents as crucial to the continued success of the tour operator.  

Simon said: “Although we are sad to see Matt go, he has done an incredible job over the years, built some great relationships and helped establish us as a trade favourite.

“We look to invest in our travel trade team immediately with travel agent partners remaining an essential pillar of Inside Travel Group’s growth strategy.”
