HICV president and CEO John Staten said: "Our company has entered into a new stage of rapid, international growth and the true measure of our success lies in the calibre of our leadership.

"While our mission to be the most loved brand in family travel has not changed, we are in an ever-evolving business landscape that requires experienced, nimble and innovative leaders. We are confident that these leaders have the knowledge, expertise and strategic acumen to elevate our company to new heights."
