The Globus Family of Brands (GFOB) has appointed Chris Hall as its new managing director for the APAC region. Hall, who will officially begin his role on 31 March 2025, brings over 30 years of industry experience to the position.
Scott Nisbet, president and CEO of GFOB, commented: “He brings the leadership and deep industry expertise needed to drive innovation, elevate our position in touring and river cruise, and grow the business with our travel agency partners.”
Hall’s extensive experience includes roles as CEO of PONANT in APAC and CEO of APT Travel Group, as well as senior positions at Australian Pacific Holdings, APT’s parent company. He will replace Gai Tyrrell, who recently stepped down as APAC managing director early this January after six years of holding office.
In his new role, Hall will oversee GFOB’s teams across APAC and drive growth within the region. He expressed his enthusiasm, stating: “I’m delighted to be joining the Globus family of brands and leading the exceptional team in APAC. With an established portfolio of brands and products, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with trade partners and working side by side with them to grow the business and achieve mutual success.”
