Alice Preece, one of this year's TTG 30 Under 30 members, reflects on her 'bonkers' career with Tui – from meeting Davina McCall to designing a river cruise itinerary for 50-something music fans

"A year ago, I didn’t have this job; now I'm sat here on the front of a boat in the Maldives. Davina McCall is whooping as I get my photo taken, and I'm thinking – 'What is going on? What is my life?'."

Alice Preece is telling TTG about her "bonkers" career with Tui's press offices, which saw her work on a Maldives campaign with McCall and influencers like Chessie and Bronte King, all within her first year on the job.

Three years later, Preece has been promoted to Senior Press Officer – and has also been named a member of TTG's 30 Under 30 Class of 2026.
