In the spirit of adventure, Cantrav West recreates the excitement of discovery and challenge by seeking out the best experiences for visitors to British Columbia, Alberta and Alaska. We are the destination experts with over 20 years experience and a single, driving goal: to be the best client focused, value added, knowledge based destination management company anywhere.

Cantrav Leisure Services is committed to being the recognized leader in the marketing, management and flawless on-site delivery of tourism services in Alaska, Western Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. Focused on specific, identified Travel Agency groups and organizations, Cantrav Leisure Services delivers a broad spectrum of live on-line tourism products. These products and services include package vacations, shore excursions, receptive services and lifestyle experiences in the destinations we serve.

Founded in 1982, Cantrav West began as ground logistics services for group and incentive travel in the Pacific Northwest to include Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle. Four years later, by the time of the World’s Fair in Vancouver in 1986, Cantrav West had established itself as the operator of choice for inbound groups attending the Calgary Stampede, cruising to Alaska, visiting Vancouver or Victoria, or heading to Whistler Resort for ski programs.

In the nineties, and with the century coming to a fast close, the company had developed laterally to incorporate a strong Sales force backed up by a quality-driven Operations team. Cantrav West operated more than 120 programs per year ranging in size from 10 to 2,500 persons, becoming the largest DMC in Western Canada. In 1995, the Rockies office was opened to service those requests for Banff, Lake Louise and Calgary.

Today, over twenty years after its foundation, we have become the premier destination logistics provider in Western Canada.

With a strong focus on the travel market, our seasoned team produces award-winning programs and productions which deliver beyond client expectations. In fact, Cantrav has won the “The Best Conference and Incentive Organizer Award ” six times, and the coveted “Best Corporate Event & Production” from Special Events Magazine.

Cantrav West operates with thirty full-time employees and up to forty additional Program Staff during peak season. We operate offices in Whistler, Vancouver, Banff and Alaska.
