Rob Moller joins Exsus as senior worldwide travel expert and Middle East product manager, while Satyan Bhalla has been appointed India sales and product manager.

Moller has worked in travel for 15 years, with experience living and working in both the Middle East and the Far East. “From experiencing Bedouin hospitality in Jordan to sailing the Nile in a traditional felucca [sailing boat], I look forward to sharing my adventures and wealth of first-hand knowledge with clients,” said Moller.

India expert Bhalla, meanwhile, has 25 years’ travel experience, and has pledged to help clients “get under the skin” of the vast and sometimes daunting destination. “My experience has taught me what clients value most are the uniquely memorable experiences that come from immersing themselves in the local culture and environment,” said Bhalla.

Exsus head of trade sales Neil Sealy added: “With our trade sales continuing to go from strength to strength, we welcome these two valuable new additions to our ever-growing team of passionate and well-travelled experts.

“We look forward to continuing and strengthening our fruitful relationships with agents across the country, and sending their clients on exceptional luxury holidays worldwide.”

Sealy joined Exsus last year ahead of the operator’s relaunch to the trade in July 2018. It has since grown trade bookings to represent 37% of the operator’s business.
