Commenting on her appointment, Sorensen said: “I’m thrilled to take on the role with AAT Kings Group; such a well-respected brand and company to be a part of.

“I look forward to working closely and collaboratively with our partners to aid the road to recovery, and to ensure that our extensive range of world-class touring experiences in Australia and New Zealand are a ‘must do’ for any traveller.”
