I am proud to be the CEO and General Manager of KVI Travel (a.k.a. KVI Interline Cruises & Tours) - one of the world's largest and most respected interline (and public) travel agencies. KVI's team of over 50 agents located in 9 countries around the world are a select group of professional, experienced interline and retail travel agents who have joined forces in order to offer their clients the world's best prices and service on interline and retail cruises, tours, resorts and more.
I am currently operating out of our world headquarters, located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada – a beautiful city tucked away in the warm & scenic Okanagan Valley, about three hours' drive from Vancouver.
I currently serve a select group of clients by offering personal, professional quality travel services at the lowest prices anywhere. By dealing personally with a limited clientele I am able to provide a much higher level of quality service and am able to take care of all of your needs from start to finish. Currently, I am still accepting new clients by referral and I do appreciate any new business you send my way. I believe a vacation should be fun and stress-free from start to finish, and by booking with me your vacations will always be exactly that! I will never recommend or book a vacation that I wouldn't enjoy myself.
I have two sons – 17-year-old Alec & 15-year-old Sam (they appreciate your business too!).
Aside from taking care of my clients' needs and 'steering the ship' here at KVI, I also am an active member of a number of influential travel industry groups:
- Advisory Council Member, Vacation.com
Vacation.com the world's largest travel agency consortium. As amember of their Advisory Council, I am the lone voice for the interline community and am able to speak on your behalf to a number of issues facing interliners and the travel industry as a whole. This puts our team on the cutting edge in all things travel, so you can be assured that you are dealing with the best when you deal with KVI!
- Future/Technology Subcommittee Member, Vacation.com
As a member of this group, I am able to keep KVI at the forefront of travel industry technological advance and also help to suggest, guide and implement new technologies to improve vacation experiences for everyone
- Council Member, ACTA (Association of Canadian Travel Agencies)
As an elected member of tthis association, I am able to connect with the travel industry's most powerful lobbying group and fight for the rights of our agents and our clients when it comes to fair practices in the travel industry - keeping cruise lines and other suppliers accountable and fair in their pricing and policies.
- Travel Industry Advisory Group Member, Consumer Protection BC
As a member of this government based group, I am able to stand and speak at the intersection of travel consumer rights/issues and government legislation.
When my insane schedule allows, I also enjoy cinema, scuba diving, writing newspaper articles & screenplays and sharing some Good News in my local church pulpit (busy, busy, busy!).
I look forward to serving you, your family & your friends next time a vacation is in order!
