“All I know is that working for Ellison as an IC is the best employment decision I have made in my work career! I have been a travel agent for 13 years – the best last 9 have been with Ellison.

I can create my own hours, I can work from anywhere and still get all the support I require from not only the London office but also very quick response from IT and accounting.”

LAURA RUIZ-WYSEMAN

I have been working at Ellison Vacations for a little over 1 year, and it has been a great experience.  The management team is engaged with the staff and want to ensure everyone’s success.  They provide great training and are available to chat about prospect travel sales or when issues arise.  I am so pleased to work for a Canadian family travel agency.
