Rail Europe 4A launches into new era
Rail Europe 4A, the worldwide leader in Rail distribution, has appointed over the last 12 years more than 110 Sales Agents throughout the world, selling its products in nearly 50 countries.
The Rail Europe 4A distribution partners in Australasia include Rail Plus, Stella Group, CIT Australia, Flight Centre, GTA and Gullivers Pacific Ltd.
Rail Europe 4A in Australia already has, in excess of one hundred Euronet terminals, implemented web services allowing Euronet access to nearly 4000 travel agents thus offering the most comprehensive ticketing online reservation system for European trains. Rail Europe expects this number to grow as it further builds its business within Australasia exceeding its annual turnover of more than 40 million in 2007 representing nearly 20% of its total turnover worldwide.
Through these Sales Agents Rail Europe 4A offers the most extensive range of European rail products; from the famous Eurail Global Pass that enables travellers to discover up to 18 different countries, and an extensive variety of National and Regional Passes for travellers who wish to concentrate on one or two countries; to a complete list of European city to city destinations.
The Australasian market has emerged as a growing and strategic market, hence the decision to open the Australasian Office and appoint Rich Leonard as Office Manager.
“I am extremely happy to have Rich join the Rail Europe family as the Rail Europe Australia Office Manager and I am sure that he will make a fantastic contribution to our company’s success in the Australasian territory”, says CEO of Rail Europe 4A Pierre-Stephane Austi from Paris.
Rich comes into this role with significant Marketing and Sales Experience within the Travel and Tourism sector including time with Tourism NSW, Tucan Travel and GAP Adventures. Prior to working within the Travel and Tourism sector Rich held significant sales, marketing and other management roles within the insurance, finance and sports management sectors.
Rich will be reporting directly into the Rail Europe 4A head office in Paris. He will be in charge of promoting the Rail Europe 4A products in Australasia and coordinating marketing activities with the local Rail Europe partners. Business will continue as normal with all GSA’s.
