YTB International Expansion:
"O CANADA!"
We're On Our Way …
Great news! Now that YTB International is expanding to the great country of Canada, Referring Travel Affiliates (RTAs) and Reps living in Canada may sell travel through YTB websites (RTA) and market online travel agencies (Rep) to people in the U.S., Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Bermuda and Canada. J. Kim Sorensen, President and CEO of YTB Travel Network, states, "We are pleased to take 'international' to a whole new level at YTB. We can now expand the reach of our team to cover all of North America! This means even better opportunities for our RTAs and Reps, and solidifies YTB's travel agency status." YTB International is now recognized as a bonded travel agency in Canada and will add three offices there.
YTB's executive and legal teams worked diligently with the Canadian regulatory bodies to
ensure that the Company meets or exceeds government standards. In addition, new RTAs
will be able to take advantage of the same extensive training available to U.S. based RTAs,
as YTB will be holding onsite training certifications in Canada.
Canada kick-off meetings will be held Vancouver, British Columbia on
Saturday, February 9, 2008 and in Toronto, Ontario on Saturday, February 16, 2008
to provide more information about YTB and its opportunities.
"This is a truly exciting time for RTAs and consumers buying travel through YTB Travel Network. Consumers continue to buy travel online in ever growing numbers and can take advantage of fantastic trips, including YTB's exclusive package for the Beijing Olympics,"
said Derek Avera, Vice President of International Business Development at YTB.
"The addition of Canada (and previously Bermuda and the Bahamas) represents the first
steps in YTB's international expansion plan. We look forward to adding even more
countries to the YTB International family over the next year."
