Maritime Travel has been in business since 1949 and is one of Canada’s largest independent travel agency chains. Based in Halifax, with 95 locations coast to coast, the company employs 400+ travel agents.

Maritime Travel was also recently named a Platinum Club winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies for 2024. Prior to that, it has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed companies every year since 1998.

“We know that our travel agents are exceptional team members,” says Gary Gaudry, President, Maritime Travel Inc. “And we’re especially delighted to know they are also among the most engaged workforces in the country. This is particularly rewarding when you consider the global workforce challenges of the travel industry the past few years.”

Some of the award’s benchmarks include employee’s perceptions of senior leadership, people-manager effectiveness, enabling employee productivity, and valuing and appreciating employees. Mercer is the largest HR consulting firm in the world.
