CALGARY — Travel industry suppliers made some surprise visits to agencies in Alberta earlier this month – which included branches of AMA Travel, Flight Centre, Marlin Travel, Co-op Travel, Travel Gurus, Sears Travel Cruise Ship Centers, Crowfoot Travel and Travel Time – to spread holiday cheer. “This has become a yearly tradition in Alberta, and one that agents look forward to before the holidays begin,” says the group.
