Ms Burns said it had been a “difficult decision” to make.
“I have loved the job and working with a fantastic team at Visit Jersey and I’ve appreciated the support from the Board during my time. We have accomplished a lot together, focusing on our response to the pandemic and developing a marketing strategy to drive demand for the future,” she commented.
Chair of Visit Jersey Lisa Springate added: “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Amanda for her commitment and marketing vision over two extremely challenging years for the industry.
“We entirely understand her personal reasons for deciding to return to the UK and wish her all the best with her new role.”
