Cheltenham, 8 November 2017: JG Travel Group (JGTG), specialist in group tours for the over-60s, has appointed Dino Toouli to the newly created position of group head of trade sales.

The announcement comes just two months after JGTG acquired Omega Holidays Group (OHG), where Toouli was head of trade sales. Toouli will be responsible for developing the Omega Holidays and Just Go! Holidays brands with the trade.

“This is an exciting opportunity for me,” said Toouli. “I have spent the past four years introducing Omega Holidays to our network of agents and nurturing those relationships. I've now been given the task of doing the same for Just Go! It's a fantastic brand with a very loyal customer base and offers great value-for-money holidays by coach and now air, too.”

JGTG is embarking on an exciting period of significant inorganic growth, successfully innovating and embracing new holiday concepts. The company will continue to forge strong partnerships with travel agencies.
