About
Jessica Hudson founded Hudsons Travel in 2011 with the aim of providing representation services for unique, luxury tourism clients around the world. She has extensive knowledge of the luxury travel industry, with regional and international contacts at a senior level in both the media and trade, built up over more than 20 years in the industry.
Jessica’s tourism experience and passion for travel began working for luxury tour operators Abercrombie & Kent and Exsus Travel in the UK, where she travelled throughout the Indian Ocean, Arabia and Africa testing and inspecting her way around the most luxurious hotels, resorts and private islands.
Having grown up in Dubai as a child, she returned to the UAE in 2006 to join the Emirates Group. Her experience with Emirates Hotels & Resorts and Dnata Holidays gave her a valuable insight into the travel trends and demands of the Middle Eastern luxury traveller and developed her contacts amongst the regional travel trade. In 2010 she joined international Travel PR agency PRCo where she managed the GCC PR campaigns for Sofitel Hotels Worldwide, Swire Hotels Asia, The Yas Hotel Abu Dhabi, Porto Montenegro and Aman at Porto Heli, before launching Hudsons Travel the following year.
Jessica is also a keen travel writer and has written for Gulf News, Conde Nast Traveller, Kanoo World Traveller, Harpers Bazaar Arabia and BBC Good Food Middle East.
