Sonia Fernandez Carralero Sales Manager - Central & South America, Mexico, Europe & Indian Ocean Islands sonia.fernandez@thompsons.co.za
After a few years of absence from the tourism industry, I am extremely excited and enthusiastic to join Thompsons Africa and could not think of any better product to sell than this magnificent and grandiose Africa. I look after South America, central America, Mexico, Europe and Indian Ocean Islands and I could not think of any better clients to sell to than the people I am fully culturally and socially linked to.
‘The grass is always green on this side’ iÁfrica Vive!
I have been with Thompsons for over 8 years, managing and consulting in various markets. Africa is an new challenge for me and I am excited to be working with our valued African partners, helping them grow their business into Southern Africa.
I look after the North American market and focus on sales and Marketing for this region. I have been with Thompsons Africa for almost 14 years and have enjoyed every single minute of discovering just how gorgeous our destination is and how it is truly a holiday of a lifetime.
I work with our partners in the UK and Ireland, and with the Thomas Cook group in Germany. Thompsons has been a big part of my life for the last 12 years, in which time I have had the opportunity and priviledge to work within both our Inbound and Outbound divisions; in the product and contracting arena, as well as sales.
My career in the Tourism Industry started over 20 years ago. I manage the Operations of Thompsons Africa and I am so fortunate to work with the very best team in the industry! I am truly inspired by our country’s scenic beauty, magnificent outdoors, sunny climate & cultural diversity.
