TORONTO — The Globus family of brands has expanded its Western Canada trade team with two “powerhouse” additions that solidify its commitment to Canadian travel advisors.

Paula Rizos and Shauna Carter both join the company as Business Development Managers, bringing more than 75 years of combined travel industry experience.

Based in Vancouver, Rizos boasts more than three decades of travel and tourism expertise spanning Canadian Holidays, Transat Tours Canada, Discover Canada Tours and The Travel Corporation. In her new role, she will focus on building business, strengthening agency partnerships and pursuing new growth opportunities across British Columbia.

Carter, who is based in the Okanagan Valley, is a 45-year industry veteran who held previous leadership roles with Princess Cruises, Cunard Line, AmaWaterways and multiple airlines and tour operators. Her expertise, destination knowledge and advisor-first approach are expected to elevate the company’s trade relationships in Western Canada.

“At the Globus family of brands, we believe in the power of ‘U’ + ‘US’ – a partnership that inspires success on every level,” said Billy Stewart, national trade sales manager – Canada. “Paula and Shauna are the definition of trusted industry partners. Their reputations, relationships and results-driven approach will amplify the support and growth opportunities we deliver to advisors across British Columbia.”
