Travelsavers Celebrates 25 Years in Canada

TRAVELSAVERS Canada proudly marks its 25th anniversary, celebrating a quarter-century of inspiring, educating, supporting, and igniting the entrepreneurial spirit of advisors and partners across the country.

TRAVELSAVERS Canada was established with a clear mission to equip agencies and partners to maximize their potential through world-class support, innovative tools, and strategic initiatives. From the beginning, TRAVELSAVERS Canada prioritized quality service, partner relationships, and programs to encourage business development.

“This anniversary isn’t just about looking back, it’s about building on our momentum for the future,” said Jane Clementino, Senior Vice President and General Manager of TRAVELSAVERS Canada. “We’ve remained focused on empowering agencies for 25 years and our success story is really theirs. It’s the result of collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to growth.”

A Legacy of Innovation and Support

With over 300 agencies currently affiliated, TRAVELSAVERS Canada provides a comprehensive suite of programs to enhance agency operations, enhance client engagement, and advance professional development. Agencies have access to initiatives such as Travel Club, OnlineXpress, cruiseexpress, and The Affluent Traveler Collection, which collectively enable advisors to address diverse client needs while fostering business growth.

TRAVELSAVERS Canada has consistently introduced tools to support agency success in an evolving marketplace:

• AI Connect enables advisors to create professional marketing content efficiently, leveraging the capabilities of generative AI to streamline communications.
• Softvoyage provides a modern booking platform that supports both client engagement and agency operational efficiency.
• Social Connect allows agencies to distribute tailored promotions across multiple social platforms, enhancing reach and engagement with potential clients.

Fostering a Strong Community

Beyond technology, TRAVELSAVERS Canada places a strong focus on professional development and community-building driven by the Business Analyst team, who provide hands-on, customized support to affiliated agencies. Programs such as Dine and Discover, a series of education and networking events in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City, have cultivated stronger relationships between advisors and suppliers, facilitating the exchange of valuable promotions and insights to share with their clients.

TRAVELSAVERS Canada strengthened its leadership team in 2022, appointing Clementino as Senior Vice President and General Manager. Clementino has contributed to the company’s rapid growth and led forward-thinking strategies to elevate advisor success. These include the Breakaway program, which encourages independent contractors to start their own agencies and strengthen their independence, and an initiative to place and support ICs from other consortia at TRAVELSAVERS Canada agencies.

“Joining TRAVELSAVERS Canada during such a pivotal time was an incredible opportunity,” said Clementino. “Agencies see us as the partner to help them succeed in today’s competitive landscape, and our recent growth and positive momentum speaks to the strength of our community and innovative technology.”

A Canadian Foundation with a Forward-Looking Vision

From its first 17 agencies to today’s nationwide network, TRAVELSAVERS Canada continues to uphold its founding principles: fostering collaboration, promoting professional excellence, and supporting advisors through industry-leading programs and resources.

Rooted in made-in-Canada innovation, TRAVELSAVERS Canada has long recognized the power of community in driving growth and connection. From hosting events that bring advisors together for learning and collaboration, to launching Travel Club, which rewards clients with exclusive perks and builds lasting loyalty, TRAVELSAVERS Canada continues to innovate in ways that deepen relationships and success. As the organization celebrates this milestone, it remains dedicated to advancing the role of travel professionals and supporting the continued growth of Canada’s travel industry.
