Flight Centre Travel Group has appointed Travel Associates general manager Rachel Kingswell to a newly created global role as it looks to double its luxury travel business by 2032.

Kingswell will become global head of product, luxury brands, overseeing product strategy across FCTG’s luxury portfolio, including Travel Associates and Luxury Travel Collection.

She will move into the position once a successor is appointed at Travel Associates, with the search for a new general manager now underway.

Kingswell has spent 25 years with FCTG, including eight years with Travel Associates and the past five as its general manager.

Under her leadership, Travel Associates delivered record years and was named Most Outstanding Agency at the 2024 National Travel Industry Awards.

FCTG Global MD, Luxury & Independent Brands Danielle Galloway said the appointment comes as the group works towards doubling its global luxury business by 2032.

“Rachel has done an exceptional job leading Travel Associates,” Galloway said.

“This new role gives her the chance to lean into an area of real expertise, and I have no doubt she’ll continue to deliver fantastic outcomes for both Travel Associates and Luxury Travel Collection in the product space.”

Kingswell said leading Travel Associates had been “the greatest privilege” of her career.

“Everything we’ve built together – the record year, the awards, coming through COVID stronger than we went in – happened because of the calibre of our advisors and the relationships we’ve built across the supply chain,” she said.

“I’m taking all of that with me into this new role, and I couldn’t be more excited to help shape where our luxury brands go next.”
