We are delighted to announce a significant achievement for Anderson Vacations, a Canadian-based company with over 25 years of experience crafting authentic travel experiences: we have been honored with Baxter Media's Agent's Choice Award for "Favourite Tour Operator" for an unprecedented third consecutive year. This prestigious recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence and highlights the strength of our deep-rooted partnerships, which truly form the heart of our community.
A Recognition from the Forefront of the Industry
This award holds particular significance as it is determined by the votes of 7,707 travel advisors from across Canada. This direct endorsement from the professionals who are at the forefront of the travel landscape—our valued travel agent partners—is a profound testament to their continued trust and support. It validates our dedication to crafting personalized, culturally rich, and unforgettable journeys throughout Canada.
As Andres Reinoso, our General Manager, stated, "We are incredibly honored and humbled to receive Baxter Media's Agent's Choice Award for 'Favourite Tour Operator' for the third year in a row. This recognition, coming directly from thousands of travel advisors across Canada, affirms our belief that travel is about more than just visiting places; it's about connecting meaningfully with people, stories, and communities. It reinforces our commitment to showcasing Canada's unparalleled beauty and diversity, and it inspires us to continuously raise the bar."
Our Core Philosophy: Authentic Experiences and Lasting Impact
Our repeated success reflects Anderson Vacations' core philosophy: to deliver authentic experiences that resonate with travelers and create lasting impacts. From our base in Calgary, Alberta, our team of passionate travel experts, with countless years of collective experience, works tirelessly to design, develop, and manage tours that go beyond the typical tourist paths. We believe in providing immersive journeys that allow travelers to truly experience the essence of Canada, from its majestic landscapes to its vibrant cultural tapestry.
This ethos extends to every aspect of our operation. Our tours often include engaging with local businesses, supporting indigenous tourism initiatives, and ensuring that the economic benefits of travel directly impact the communities we visit. For example, we are proud partners with the Indigenous Tourism Destination Fund (ITDF), contributing a portion of proceeds per traveled client to support reconciliation efforts and the growth of Indigenous tourism in Canada. We also collaborate with Trees4Travel, planting a tree for every passenger, reflecting our dedication to responsible and sustainable tourism practices. These partnerships are not just about business; they are about fostering a collective community around travel that creates positive change.
The Anderson Vacations Community: Our Strength and Promise
At Anderson Vacations, we see ourselves as more than just a tour operator; we are a community. This community extends from our dedicated team in Calgary to our expert local guides across Canada, to the thousands of travel advisors who trust us with their clients, and, most importantly, to the travelers themselves. We foster connections by offering:
- Small Group Tours: Our tours are designed to be intimate, often with groups of 14 to 24 travelers, allowing for deeper connections among participants and with local cultures.
- Personalized Service: Whether it's a self-drive adventure, an escorted tour, or a custom group itinerary, our team ensures every detail is meticulously planned to fit individual preferences.
- Commitment to Local Insight: We believe the most authentic experiences come from those who know the destination best. Our reliance on local guides ensures storytelling tailored to your interests and unique insights into the places you explore.
This collaborative approach, driven by a shared passion for exploration and cultural immersion, is what truly sets us apart and has earned us the consistent recognition of the Agent's Choice Award.
Future Endeavors: Innovation and Global Expansion
Anderson Vacations extends its sincere gratitude to every travel advisor who voted and continues to champion Canadian travel. "Your partnership is the foundation of our success," remarked Andres Reinoso. "As we look ahead, we are excited to continue innovating, including introducing new tourism offerings and uncovering even more hidden gems across this incredible country."
Furthermore, we are pleased to announce our expansion of operations to other unique countries. Our aim is to replicate our successful travel vision globally, continuing to create meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact on travelers worldwide. We will carry our commitment to authentic experiences, strong partnerships, and community engagement with us as we embark on these new journeys.
