TRAVELPORT has appointed George Harb as the new managing director for China, who will be responsible for the company’s development of strategic business opportunities in this region.
Harb boasts more than seven years’ experience at Travelport, having served as the marketing director for Asia-Pacific and commercial director for Asia, during which he was responsible for the Travelport territories of Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, and more recently for managing Travelport’s distributor relationships across the Asia-Pacific region.
Over the past three years, he has been actively involved in supporting Travelport’s cooperation with Travelsky, including the recent partnership agreement relating to the distribution of hotel content.
In his new position, Harb will report into Simon Nowroz, global vice president of business development, whose team takes responsibility for key strategic and emerging markets across the world including China, India, Japan and Brazil.
Currently based in Travelport’s Hong Kong headquarters, Harb will relocate to China soon.
