WHY USA? LET THE TRAVEL


CORPORATION BOOK THE WAYS


From coast to coast, TTC has more reasons than ever to sell the U.S.


the region’s sweeping coastlines.
Another top-selling destination is
Hawaii, which clients can explore
on Luxury Gold’s 12-day ‘Luxurious
Hawaiian Escape’.

What’s new for TTC in
the U.S.?
New for 2019, Busabout has
launched a 2019 ‘USA & Canada’
program. This is Busabout’s newest
destination and the first time the
brand has expanded its Hop-on
Hop-off network outside of Europe.
Busabout’s West Coast Hop-on
Hop-off Pass’ gives access to
eight destinations, including San
Francisco and Las Vegas, while
the ‘Adventures’ travel style offers
11 itineraries including the 22-day
‘West to East Road Trip’.
Plus, our USA team will be opening
a beautiful new office space in
Cypress. The building renovations
will be completed this spring and
more details to come!

Are there any emerging U.S.
destinations that agents

should keep on their radars?


Coming off its 300th birthday in 2018,
New Orleans is an excellent destination to
travel to all year long. Young clients can
join in on the fun during Contiki’s 13-day
‘Boot Scoot N Blues’ journey. Another
emerging destination is South Dakota;
Costsaver’s 13-day ‘Spectacular Canyons
and National Parks’ trip takes clients on
a journey to Badlands National Park and
Mount Rushmore to capture the true
essence of one of the most beautiful
southwestern destinations.


You’re celebrating 20
years at TTC this year. How

have you seen the company’s


USA product evolve?


The past 20 years at The Travel
Corporation Canada and in the travel
industry have gone by very fast and I
am very grateful for the opportunity to
continue to grow and learn every day.
Over the years, the USA experiences from
TTC’s family of brands have evolved and
grown tremendously. In more recent years,
clients are looking for culturally immersive
experiences and are further seeking
opportunities to protect the environments
and communities they are visiting. As
such, we’ve been working closely with our
not-for-profit, the TreadRight Foundation,
to grow our sustainability efforts globally.


Why should Canadian
families choose the United
States as their next family
vacation getaway?
The U.S. offers so many amazing kid-
friendly attractions and educational
activities. When clients travel with
one of TTC’s family of brands, they are
guaranteed carefully crafted travel where
they can truly immerse themselves in
the country’s rich history and cultural
diversity. The U.S. offers incredibly
easy, direct air routes from Canada,
making year-long travel very accessible,
especially to year-long destinations like
California and Florida.
What are some top-selling
itineraries that you would
recommend this year?
For those looking for an in-depth
experience, Trafalgar’s 2019 ‘USA and
Canada’ program has launched two
incredible trips: an eight-day ‘Cape
Cod Delights’ exploring New England’s
coastline, and the nine-day ‘Five Epic
National Parks’ that highlights the natural
splendour of the Old West.
Also, Luxury Gold offers two incredible
itineraries for 2019: the 10-day ‘New
England’s Magnificent Autumn’ that
highlights New England’s autumn
landscapes, and the eight-day ‘America’s
Captivating Pacific Northwest' featuring
