Why Ellison?

Your Business.

Our Foundation.

Choosing the right company to build behind you is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as an independent travel professional. Here’s what makes Ellison different.

You’re joining a real travel company — not just a host agency

Ellison Travel & Tours has been in business since 1980. We’re 100% Canadian-owned, family-run, and one of Canada’s largest independently owned travel companies.

What that means for you: you’re backed by a company with 90+ travel professionals, deep operational expertise, and supplier relationships built over 45 years — not a host agency that exists only to collect fees.

Recent Awards & Recognition

Ellison has been recognized by some of the most respected names in the travel industry – a reflection of the supplier relationships, professionalism, and performance that every Ellison advisor benefits from directly.

The Family Story

Ellison has been family-owned and operated since 1980. Today it’s led by second-generation owners Marcie, Michelle, and Paulo — which means the people making decisions about this company are the same people invested in your success.

No corporate parent. No distant head office. Just a team that’s been doing this for a long time and genuinely cares how it turns out for you.

Community

When you join Ellison you become part of a network of travel professionals across Canada — people who share knowledge, celebrate wins, and support each other as they build their businesses.

From annual events and industry conferences to day-to-day connections within the Ellison community, you’re never building in isolation.
