FCM Meetings & Events (FCM M&E), the flagship division of the Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG), has announced a global business expansion by appointing Henry Jones as the global marketing leader.
Jones is a seasoned travel marketer and has spent the last eight years with Flight Centre Travel Group, working across multiple brands and several regions including the United Kingdom and Canada supporting the launch of Corporate Traveller’s Melon product. He was most recently the head of marketing for FCM Travel Asia based out of Singapore and has overseen the expansion of marketing efforts into China with the launch of the FCM Platform China, launched FCM Japan and incorporated India into the region.
In his new role, Jones will manage FCM M&E marketing and communications strategy, including bringing the division’s product suite to market and driving the global brand strategy as FCTG invests heavily in this space.
“Meetings and events make up a substantial part of corporate travel with the MICE market expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 6.6 percent from 2022 to 2030 to reach $1.563 trillion (as per GBTA - 2023 Business Travel Index Outlook - Annual Global Report & Forecast)," said Jones, global marketing leader of FCM M&E.
“We believe the meetings, events, conferences, and event travel markets are ripe for disruption worldwide and have invested heavily in technology and people,” said Simone Seiler, global general manager of FCM M&E. “This ensures we have best-in-class technology and people to service the meetings and events industry.”
