Most Canadians only get one vacation a year, and they want to make sure they`re doing it right.
Being able to purchase through a known and trusted source is important, especially if you`re planning a honeymoon, you require a special vegetarian airline meal, or your child is travelling unaccompanied for the first time to visit her grandparents. When it comes to travel, a complex product, why wouldn`t Canadians go to someone they trust - their local travel agent?
Through TravelActive.com, travel consumers can enjoy the benefits of having a professional take care of all their travel needs. Canadians can search www.travelactive.com, with a database of over 6,000 vacation specials, and find a local travel agent who can provide professional advice and fulfill the purchase transaction. Canadians have the convenience of searching online but the security and reassurance of booking from a `brick and mortar` site.
With summer soon upon us, travel agencies are gearing up for a busy season, and TravelActive.com is a great way for travel agencies to diversify their marketing strategies, realize the benefits of the online environment, and promote their summertime `Great Deals` to local travel consumers.
TravelActive.com is currently marketing in the Kitchener/Waterloo region (Canada`s Technology Triangle), will enter the Toronto market in a few weeks, and will continue to market to the remaining 12 key areas in Canada thereafter. Throughout the summer, the company will be marketing to travel consumers, travel agencies and suppliers simultaneously.
Travel agencies in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec have already signed on with TravelActive.com, and it is expected that more travel agencies will join the system throughout the summer as TravelActive.com continues its Canada-wide marketing campaign.
