DRBangkok: Dusit International announced the appointment of new sales directors to head its Global Sales Offices in India and Europe, including a new office in Germany.
Snehal Koli was recently appointed as Director of Sales of Dusit’s GSO in Mumbai. An accomplished tourism professional with over a decade of international hospitality experience, Koli has worked in sales and marketing for global hotel chains such as Onyx Hospitality Group (Amari Hotels), Accor Hotels, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, and Sarovar Hotels, as well as Costa Cruises.
Koli will be responsible for providing sales and marketing services to the group across all market segments in India, including leisure, MICE and corporate business. Her primary focus is on Tier I and II cities, such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Chennai, but she will also cover smaller cities which are emerging as important source markets for outbound travel.

Hinze brings to the role more than 30 years of experience leading GSOs for hotel companies such as Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts, Six Senses Hotels & Resorts, and Minor Hotels. He has excellent track record of introducing brands in destinations and helping them to become top producing markets.
Enhancing its presence in Europe, Dusit has appointed Anthony Vale as Director of Sales – GSO UK. Vale has worked in sales for international companies such as Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts and Qatar Airways, as well as key UK-based tour operators like Tradewinds. Based in London, Vale is responsible for Dusit’s sales and marketing activities across France, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, and the UK.
