Test Thakkar

André’s career in tourism began over 20 years ago with a travel agency apprenticeship in Munich, followed by a Work & Travel journey across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia that sparked his enduring connection with the industry.

Back in Germany, he managed a Sonnenklar.tv travel agency branch and went on to take over the role of Product Manager for Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific at Boomerang Reisen. He went on to lead a travel agency branch in Bitburg and mentor future travel professionals as a trainer.

As Trade Manager for New Age Marketing, André draws on his long-standing experience in the travel trade and product development to support and guide client projects. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors or with his family.
