Intrepid Travel has announced key leadership changes to its Australia-New Zealand management team, representing Intrepid’s first all-female regional leadership team.

This includes Sarah Clark returning as ANZ managing director, and Yvette Thompson promoted to general manager - sales and partnerships to lead all partner relationships and commercial agreements.

Intrepid Travel has secured a majority share in Haka Tours and ANZ Nature Tours. The two brands offer a range of tourism experiences for both the local and international markets.

The acquisition bolsters Intrepid's operational capability in New Zealand and allows it to leverage its global distribution capability to scale rapidly as local travel, as well as international tourism, recovers.
