The new location is owned by entrepreneurs Sheena Revet and Heather Calvert, who also own a Marlin Travel agency in Regina and first joined the TDC network in 2021.

“We are beyond excited to announce the opening of our second travel agency, right on Main Street in charming Moose Jaw,” said Revet. “As a locally and Canadian-owned business, this milestone reflects our deep commitment to serving communities across Southern Saskatchewan with exceptional travel planning expertise.”

Located at 502 Main Street, the space has a long-standing history in the community. “The location has been a travel agency since 1981 so when the location became available, it was a no-brainer for us to rebrand it with the Marlin Travel logo,” added Revet.

Calvert noted the team’s broad expertise and dedication to personalized service. “From luxury river cruises to all-inclusive vacations, we’re proud to offer personalized planning, backed by an experienced, passionate, homegrown team of 11 travel professionals who understand what Saskatchewan travellers truly want.”

Dianne Jackson, Director of Franchise and Affiliate Members at TDC, said the new agency represents another milestone for the network. “We are thrilled to see the Marlin brand continue to grow. The opening of a second location for our franchisees, Heather Calvert and Sheena Revet, is a testament to the strength and trust behind the Marlin brand and TDC as a network.”

According to a 2024 Ipsos study conducted on behalf of TDC, the Marlin Travel brand ranks among the most trusted travel agency brands in Canada.

Added Jackson: “Marlin continues to be the go-to choice for Canadians seeking unforgettable travel experiences for more than 35 years. For customers, brand awareness is important when choosing a company, and especially when trust is a factor. This is even more true when we’re talking about a service company. This trust, built over the long term, is a differentiating factor worth its weight in gold, especially in an industry with fierce competition.”

TDC is a full-service travel agency network with some 250 locations, comprising brick-and-mortar travel agencies, websites, a call centre and independent contractors representing members of the agent@home program. The network includes Transat Travel, Marlin Travel, Club Voyages, TravelPlus, LuxeXperts and Voyages en Liberté as well as affiliate members.
