Experienced local representative in Central Europe.

Your local presence. Your market connection.
Independent Commercial Representation & Market Development in Hungary and Central Europe
Entering or developing a market does not always require establishing a local office.
I provide airlines, destinations, airports and international travel brands with senior-level commercial representation, market development and industry expertise in Hungary and selected Central European markets.
Drawing on more than 30 years of executive experience in aviation and tourism, including airline country management, GSA leadership, international sales, travel distribution and business development, I can act as an experienced local extension of your commercial team.
My objective is simple: to connect international travel businesses with the right people, partners and opportunities in the local market.
AIRLINE REPRESENTATION
For airlines seeking to develop an offline market or strengthen their existing commercial presence.
Services may include:
Commercial and sales representation
Travel agency, TMC and tour operator relations
Corporate and key account development
Local partnership development
Trade presentations and product training
Market and competitor intelligence
Sales calls, workshops and industry events
Airport and tourism stakeholder relations
Support for route and market development
Regular market feedback and reporting
The model can range from project-based market development to ongoing in-market representation or an outsourced Country Representative function.
DESTINATION REPRESENTATION
For tourism boards, DMOs, convention bureaux and destinations seeking to develop awareness, distribution and demand in the Hungarian market.
Services may include:
In-market destination representation
Travel trade development
Tour operator and travel agency relations
Destination presentations and training
Workshops, roadshows and industry events
Market intelligence and competitor analysis
Identification of new distribution opportunities
Coordination of trade partnerships and FAM activities
Aviation connectivity and airline relations
My aviation background provides an additional perspective: destination development and air connectivity are closely linked, and both need to be considered when building sustainable visitor growth.
AIRPORT & ROUTE DEVELOPMENT
For airports and regions seeking new airline, tourism and distribution opportunities.
Services may include:
Airline and aviation industry relations
Market intelligence
Identification of potential airline partners
Local travel trade and tour operator engagement
Destination and airport cooperation
Support for route-development initiatives
Local stakeholder representation
BUSINESS CONSULTING
I also provide independent consultancy for aviation, tourism and travel-related businesses requiring senior industry experience for a specific project, market-entry decision or commercial challenge.
Assignments can include:
Market-entry assessment
Commercial strategy
Sales and distribution review
Business development
Partner identification
Market and competitor analysis
Tourism and aviation projects
Strategic advisory
LOCAL PRESENCE WITHOUT A LOCAL OFFICE
The cooperation model is deliberately flexible.
It can take the form of a specific market-development project, ongoing in-market representation, or a more comprehensive Country Representative mandate.
For international organisations, this provides access to experienced local market knowledge, industry relationships and senior commercial representation — without the cost and complexity of establishing their own local organisation.
Let's explore the market together.
If your airline, destination, airport or travel business is considering Hungary or Central Europe, I would be pleased to discuss how I can support your commercial objectives.
