New Caledonia Tourism has announced the appointment of Julie Laronde as general manager, following nomination from the New Caledonia Tourism Board of Directors, effective immediately. Julie takes over the role from Jean-Marc Mocellin, who held the general manager position for three years.
The appointment from the Board of Directors and its Chairman, Mr Brieuc Frogier, comes in recognition of Julie’s commitment to the organisation, where she has held the position of deputy generalmanager since 2010. In particular, the Board noted her work in revitalising the tourism body’s international representation, marketing strategies and digital promotion tools, which has resulted in six years of continued international visitation growth.
Julie will oversee the promotion of both international and domestic tourism to New Caledonia and the South Province.
