I have known Donna Kessler in a professional capacity for 20 years. Initially as a colleague, then saw her grow in setting up and establishing Tourism Portfolio and in the last 7 years as an exclusive representative in the MICE market for Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa. Donna and her team represent our property on the domestic as well as international markets.

A professional relationship as we have is not just based on production and bottom line alone, but also the ability to ‘be’ that property, understand its values and be the face of that property – the ability to be seamless, utterly professional at all times as well as commercially creative. Donna and her staff are a joy to work with and they are not afraid to actively work with my team to get best commercial results.

In the market they are without a doubt considered to be the best in what they do, with impeccable integrity and results.
