Daniel Gathercole, CEO of First Class Travel Group, said: “We’ve been collaborating with travel agents for nearly 30 years and Canada has always been our baby. Over the years, we’ve built strong personal relationships with many agents.

“Some of our staff have been with us almost since the very beginning, which is a testament to the strength of our team and the long-term partnerships we’ve fostered. 

“As we celebrate this incredible milestone from July onwards, there will be numerous opportunities for agents to engage with us and win exciting prizes. By the end of the year, we will also be offering all long-haul destinations, but Canada will always remain our number one destination.

“While some direct-to-consumer operators have now entered the agent market, we are proud to remain the UK’s number one choice for the trade when it comes to Canadian holidays.”
