Share this

Tourism Australia has confirmed the appointment of a new Regional General Manager Japan and Korea.

Andrew Reilly has been announced in the position and will commence in the Tokyo-based role in May.

Mr Reilly has extensive experience working in Asia, and has previously worked for Tourism Australia (then the Australian Tourism Commission) as Marketing Director for Japan/Korea and later as Regional Director Asia.

His broader experience within the Asia region also includes senior roles with Telstra International, BT, Hutchinson and Asia satellite broadcaster STAR TV, as well as running his own consultancy business.      

Mr Reilly will attend the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE), being held in Sydney later this month, in order to maximise his time with the Australian tourism industry prior to taking up his new role in Japan.

Japan and Korea represent Australia’s fifth and eighth largest inbound visitor markets, between them delivering more than 550,000 arrivals and contributing close to A$3 billion in spending during 2012.
