Vision Travel Acquires Travel Sensations
Toronto, September 11, 2017 – Brian Robertson, President of Vision Travel Solutions, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Travel Sensations Downtown, a well-known and successful high end luxury travel agency located in central Toronto. Established in 1988, Travel Sensations Downtown is owned by Joanne Thachuk, a prominent member of the luxury travel industry, who will be staying on as an independent travel advisor. Former Travel Sensations Downtown staff had their choice of relocating to Vision’s New Wave Travel location (also in central Toronto) or to its Georgetown office.
“This is such a great marriage of staff and clientele,” said Robertson, commenting that Vision’s status as the only National Partner of Virtuoso (the luxury travel association) will be a great asset for the Travel Sensations team. “Everyone at Vision has been so kind and welcoming, and so professional,” said Thachuk. “It’s an exciting time for us and we are looking forward to our association with this dynamic new travel family.”
