Oh Canada: Something for Everyone this Summer

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Canada ranks as one of the most diverse and appealing destinations in the world, and yet we often look abroad first when thinking of a vacation.  In honour of Canada Day, we are showcasing some of the best that Canada has to offer!  

British Columbia - Sea to sky and everything in between: They welcomed the world for the Winter Olympics in 2010, but B.C. has always been known for it’s epic, rugged beauty, it’s sense of adventure, and it’s and welcoming spirit.  Rollerblade in Stanley Park, shop on Granville island, do the ‘Grouse Grind’, or take a train ride through the Rockies.  There is so much to do and explore, but if you are looking for even more of a reason to visit, check out the Festival and Event Calendar and Tourism British Columbia.  This year, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, their largest music and arts event, is celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary.  (more…)

Air Canada Decides That They Need Travel Agents After All

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

WestJet has been the darling of the travel industry in Canada.  They are friendly, easy to work with, have video screens in the back of each seat, and recently came out with their CARE-antee.   ALSO, they have been paying commissions to Travel Agents, building loyalty and stealing market share from Air Canada as a direct result.  Air Canada, on the other hand, decided to cut out all commissions years ago.

Air Canada seems to have woken up and realized that if they want to stay in business, they need Travel Agents on their side.  They are now paying commission on domestic flights, and hopefully they will expand this initiative as they experiene the positive effects. This means that I can book your Air Canada and WestJet flights at no cost to you.  I can handle research, changes, questions, and more… and it costs you nothing.  Also, as always, I can find great rates on international flights, often saving you hundreds of dollars.
