COVER FEATURE
STEWART TRAVEL GROUP
WORDS BY Amanda Lee
“When I started the business, you’d see a couple come into your agency holding a brochure,” says Travis Stewart, who co-owns Stewart Travel Group with his wife, Paula Stewart. Instead of meeting in a traditional brick-and-mortar store, Stewart Travel Group meets their clients where they are. Stewart says that means meeting clients in their home, or over a coffee, to help plan a dream vacation. “Life doesn’t close down at five o’clock,” he adds. With 20 years in the travel industry, Stewart started Stewart Travel Group five years ago in Stratford, PEI. Today it has expanded
across the Maritimes. The agency has 17 experienced travel agents in PEI, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who are experts in vacation planning, specialized group tours, and destination weddings. As well as meeting clients out of regular business hours, Stewart Travel Group strives to connect with new clients throughout the year through their travel shows. “Our shows are opportunities for clients to learn about programs and tours that aren’t available anywhere else on the market,” explains Frances Gertsch, Trusted Travel Advisor and Marketing Manager with Stewart Travel Group.
