New Hilton Sales Gallery To Open In Vilamoura

Hilton Grand Vacations has announced its new management structure for the Hilton Vilamoura Vacation Club, Portugal, in the lead up to a new sales gallery opening later this year.

Richard McIntosh Managing Director for HGVC, confirmed the appointment of Tony Pue in July 2008, as Project Director for the resort, where HGVC is responsible for the sales and marketing for the Vacation Club, under a licensing contract with the Portuguese developer, IMOCOM Group.

Tony has extensive experience in the Algarve and Madeira markets having held management positions with Pestana for nine years. Tony commented “ Joining the Hilton team is both an exciting and challenging opportunity, and combined with the superb resort we have here in Vilamoura, I am much looking forward to being part of the businesses growth. “

Following Tony’s arrival at the resort, a restructuring of the support team has taken place, that sees Tania Alcaravela and Vania Damasio promoted to Promotions Manager and Marketing Manager respectively. Tania will be concentrating on member communications, collateral creative, and lead generation from outside Portugal, whilst Vania will concentrate on lead generation within Portugal, and manage all local and onsite marketing. They join an existing strong team consisting of Sally Pyne, Administration Manager, Ana Dinis, Finance Manager, and the resorts two Sales Managers, Joanna Durber and William Dubreuil.

As the year draws to a close, November this year will see the opening of a new sales gallery in the heart of the resort. The existing Vacation Club office in the resorts main lobby is being extended to provide the Vacation Club with a feature sales office location, in the heart of the resorts main guest circulation area.
