FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HALIFAX, NS – Maritime Travel is opening seven new offices in British Columbia, as part of a West Coast expansion. 

Atlantic Canada's largest travel agency chain has hired 36 travel counsellors formerly with BCAA Travel, which ceased operations in November.  The new locations will be in Abbotsford, South Surrey, New Westminster, Vernon, Kelowna, Kamloops, Richmond and Vancouver's Park Royal area.

“We are pleased to welcome these new team members to the Maritime Travel family,” says Rob Dexter, Chairman and CEO.  “These are some of the best travel counsellors in the business, and are a great addition to our winning team of friendly, knowledgeable, staff.”
