Five minutes with Daniela Fagnani, Marketing Manager
1. What inspired you to work in the travel industry?
I think it’s my innate sense of adventure and curious nature. I enjoy exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. I also loved Geography at school, which further inspired
my love of travel.
2. What do you enjoy the most in your marketing role?
I enjoy working with international brands and the buying team. I enjoy being able to create good content to drive sales, and then seeing the outcomes and how my contribution helps
the greater business strategy. I really enjoy working as part of an international team!
3. What do you enjoy the most about working in travel in general?
I’m a people person and very service orientated (my student years of waitressing stood me in good stead) and working in travel covers these aspects for me. I also love to explore
new places, whilst experiencing the taste, sounds and culture of different places.
4. What is your favourite travel destination?
Italy of course! With my South African/Italian heritage, Italy for me is my number one. The food never disappoints! My second favourite place is Hermanus in the Western Cape
and then Kruger National Park, which I visit at least once a year.
5. What do you enjoy doing outside work?
I started yoga in the last 18 months, which is quite challenging at times and every time I go, it’s a different experience! I learn something new each time I go. I also enjoy cooking and
most definitely eating. I also enjoy flower arranging and gardening.
