Our Beginnings

Ellison Travel & Tours opened its doors in 1980 in Exeter, ON with 2 employees –  today we have more than 80 full and part-time employees in 6 locations, Exeter, London, North Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa & Halifax!

Our Growth

Ellison Travel’s 3 divisions,  Group Travel, Vacations & Cruises and Corporate Travel, work together sharing knowledge and experience, a cross-over that works to your advantage.   We are recognized as one of the most technologically advanced travel agencies in Canada and are proud of our leadership role in the travel industry. Our goal is to provide our customers with a wealth of first-hand experience from all corners of the globe.

Our Mission

Creating memories that last … providing you with the opportunity to explore our world and enrich your lives, while protecting and preserving lands, resources and cultures is our ultimate goal.

Our Commitment

We feel a responsibility to reduce our footprint globally as well as in our work environment and to support the areas of the world we send visitors to.  Promoting education through travel was Doug’s motivation when he started Ellison Travel & Tours.  Whether it’s raising funds to send girls to school in 3rd world countries, donations directed toward cancer or other diseases research or scholarships for music students at home, we believe we all win when we give!
