Riviera Travel has appointed Sydney Tukel as regional sales director responsible for overseeing the Southeastern United States.

Tukel brings several years of cruise experience, most recently having served as a business development manager for Carnival Cruise Line. As regional sales director, she will support Riviera Travel’s sales team to increase visibility throughout the Southeast, cultivate relationships with travel advisors, and play a key role in accelerating the brand’s sales growth.

“We are thrilled to welcome Sydney to the Riviera Travel team and look forward to seeing all she will accomplish here in the midst of a very exciting time for our brand,” said Stuart Milan, president of North America for Riviera Travel. “Sydney’s strategic thinking, combined with her collaboration skills and passion for the travel industry will certainly be an asset to our trade partners and help us continue building momentum in North America.”

Tukel’s appointment is part of a broad North American expansion, which includes new product launches and the opening of the company’s first national office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
