Well respected tourism stalwart, Spencer Pillai, has been appointed to head up the Convention Bureau at the Johannesburg Tourism Company (JTC).

Pillai, who has been General Manager: Marketing and Corporate Affairs at Gallagher Estate for the last six years, will officially start at JTC in January 2007 in his new position as General Manager: Convention Bureau.

Most recently Pillai was responsible for re-developing a new company profile and identity for Gallagher Estate as part of its upgrade to a five-star venue. He was also integrally involved in initiating a number of loyalty and CRM programmes at the estate and represents Gallagher on a number of high level industry associations.

JTC has also just appointed Silindile Nyoka - Business Tourism Assistant: International and Nikki Akanbi - Business Tourism Assistant: Domestic to concentrate on these two important market sectors.

The leisure tourism team will be further strengthened by the appointment of Tebogo Tsoku as Visitor Services Manager. Tebogo's many years of experience and contacts at the InterContinental Sandton Sun & Towers will stand her in good stead in her new position.
