In his new role, Sloan will manage 45 staff at the Tahiti Tourism head office in Tahiti and oversee the organization’s 12 international offices in France, Italy, Germany, UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, S. Korea, China, Chile, and the USA, with new offices opening in Brazil and Russia in 2015. One of Sloan’s immediate responsibilities will be overseeing the roll out of the destination’s new global brand across all markets.
