Alena Maloney

Business Development Manager, Northeast

I grew up in a small town in Connecticut as part of a large family (eight brothers and sisters). My first travel experiences were family camping / hiking trips in the Eastern US.  I remember my excitement when my Grandfather took me on my first plane trip and the thrill of receiving my first stamp in my passport.  Since then, I have been lucky to travel extensively throughout Europe, Africa, South Pacific and Asia. After graduating from Johnson & Wales University, I started my 30+ year career in the travel industry. I love being a part of fulfilling a person’s travel dreams.

Product Manager, Asia & India

I have been in the Travel Trade and Hospitality industries for over 33 years. And nearing 20 with SITA World Tours!    I am residing in beautiful Vancouver, BC. My passions are the nature, culture and culinary aspect of each of the countries I've visited. A few of my favorites are South Africa, Iceland and Norway to name a few.I particularly enjoy experiencing a new destination - there is nothing like landing in a city, that has yet to be explored!

Manager, Operations

Growing up on a horse ranch in Germany with a younger brother, two cousins and lots of animals travel was part of our annual family rhythm as long as I can remember. Summers were spent in Italy or Spain, winters in Austria for skiing and there were trips to the Baltic Sea or along the Rhine and Mosel with visits to castles and towns along those rivers. After graduating from high school on an island in the North Sea and while a university student in Germany, friends and I  drove all over Europe during summer vacations. Those trips also included Turkey, Morocco and several of the countries then still behind the Iron Curtain. I became a member of the travel industry community after completing studies at a California university. Visits to countries in Asia, Africa and travel in Australia and New Zealand have since broadened my geographic and cultural knowledge.
