“I caught the travel bug on my first trip overseas when I was 17, for the next ten years, I would work hard, but save harder for my next adventure. After having children, personal travel was not as frequent (flights are expensive with four children), but I’ve always got a trip on the horizon. I often have to pinch myself when I travel for work – we’re so lucky to be able to travel to such incredible places and call it work! I couldn’t imagine being in any other industry.“

Anthea is a seasoned hotelier with over 20 years of experience. An Australian with a Singapore background, she moved to Australia in 1987. Anthea began her hotel career in 1992 with Le Meridien Changi Singapore. In 2005, Anthea worked at ICMS, a Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) in the Delegate Services team and travelled widely in Australia to provide onsite conference support for clients and conference delegates. Her subsequent roles included Sales/Business Development at IHG Hotels and Resorts, Accor, Seasons Apartment Hotel Group, WorldHotels and Marriott International. During the pandemic years, Anthea moved into motel/hotel operations with a focus on driving sales and enhancing guest experiences. All these opportunities have navigated her professional trajectory from entry level to senior roles.

In 2023, Anthea was a first time Judge, selected to sit on the judging panel for the 2023 Victorian Tourism Awards. This was a volunteer role which she undertook in her spare time. She enjoyed the experience and building new industry connections. That same year, she was a Finalist in the Women in Travel Awards in the Hotel category. Overall, Anthea’s biggest strength would be a deep sense of ownership with every client and/or project she takes on.

Outside of work, you can catch her hiking, boxing (non-contact), going to the theatre, cooking and playing the piano.

“From hotel halls to global connections. As a hotelier, I have spent years perfecting the art of hospitality, ensuring every guest feels at home. As someone who emigrated to Australia, I feel a sense of wonder and curiosity about the places my guests and colleagues come from, the cultures they represent and the stories they tell.

Having done some sensational travel myself, I embarked on a journey of discovery – which is why I chose to work in the hotel/tourism industry, to embrace the global community that walk through the hotel doors every day and colleagues whom I work with. I ask questions about their travels, their traditions, and their favourite destinations. From this, I learnt about the spice markets of Marrakech, the temples of Tokyo, and the cuisine of Rome, just to name a few.. As I share my own stories and recommendations with them, I realised that hotels are more than just a place to rest – it is a hub of global connections, a melting pot of cultures, a crossroads of experiences, and a launching pad for new adventures.

As I begin my journey with SLC Representation, I will continue to inspire and empower my trade parners and consumers to explore the world with me, and I owe it all to that initial spark of curiosity and adverture that Australia ignited within me.”
