“As Goway continues to grow our external sales, I’m thrilled to welcome Ian to our team,” says Stanton-Defaria. “With his industry knowledge combined with his strong relationships in the industry, Ian is the perfect fit to join our team and help shore up our presence in the Canadian market.”

This is yet another signal that Goway is turning the corner on the pandemic and starting to expand its position within the resurging travel industry, she added.
