Domes Resorts has appointed Zoe Holt as business development manager for the north of the UK.

Holt, who previously served as senior regional sales manager at JTA Travel, has started her new role and reports directly to senior sales, marketing and development manager Penny Naoum.

Naoum said Holt (pictured) was the “perfect fit” for driving business development in the UK, adding: “As we continue to grow our portfolio, Zoe’s role will be crucial in strengthening our ties with trade partners and ensuring that Domes Resorts remains a top choice for luxury travellers.”

Domes Resorts has a portfolio of properties in Greece and the Algarve, with two opening earlier this year – Domes Novos Santorini and 91 Athens Riviera.

The company said the hiring of Holt underscored the brand’s commitment to strengthening its presence in the UK market, particularly in northern areas.

She was praised for her “deep understanding of the market and extensive network of contact”.

Holt said: “I am really excited to be joining the Domes team, and this is a great opportunity for me to promote the Domes Resorts brand to old and new contacts through our valuable trade partners.

“I look forward to working closely with our partners to continue building on the brand’s reputation for excellence and innovation in the luxury hospitality sector.”

In addition to her focus on the north of the UK, Holt will also help with relationships with the Irish trade.
