Deb Evans
Partnerships Manager
How long have you been working in travel industry and what type of roles have you held?
I have been in the industry since I was 19 and loved every minute (well almost every minute!). I worked for a brochure distribution company in the UK for 20 years, looking after the likes of Airtours, Thomsons, First Choice and Thomas Cook. Then moved into Corporate for Purple Parking at Heathrow. My last position before moving to Australia was for Holiday Taxis, looking after airlines and OTAs.
What sets nib apart from others in the industry?
The pride and care we all have in looking after our Partners and travellers
What’s been your most memorable experience from your career in the travel industry?
Too many to mention! Working in travel has given me the opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful and confronting places on earth!
How do you stay up to date on the latest travel trends and destinations?
I follow social media pages and and Travel Press plus my amazing Partners keep me up to date.
What do you think is the key to making a great travel itinerary?
A good itinerary should NOT be rushed and needs to be at a good pace. If you need to rush a destination, its better to leave it until another time. At least a couple of days in every destination and obviously more time in areas that have plenty to see and do. If too much is packed in, it's too tiring and not enjoyable.
What's the most underrated travel destination in your opinion?
CUBA – I have been four times and even got married there!
If you could travel with 3 famous people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?
David Attenborough – full of knowledge and a truly wonderful man. George Clooney – so I could look at him and enjoy the wonderous view! Rick Gervais – laughter all the way.
Have you ever had a travel mishap or funny story that you'd like to share?
Nothing that I could make public!
