Mark Greenwood & Daina Gasner acquire Travel Masters

Travel Masters has been acquired from long-time owner Neil McMahon by two members of its leadership team – Mark Greenwood and Daina Gasner.

Greenwood and Gasner have been integral to Travel Masters for many years, helping to shape the company into the trusted, supportive agency it is today.

“I have always approached my role with the mindset of an owner, acting in the best interest of the company. Travel Masters has always felt like more of a family than a business. When I found out Neil McMahon was planning to retire, I was excited to step in and continue that legacy,” said Gasner in a press release issued Wednesday (April 2).  

Greenwood who first joined as Travel Masters’ first agent in 1998.

“Over the years, my role evolved to include technical support and later management responsibilities. When Neil decided to retire, it felt natural that I would be one of the people to carry on his vision,” he said.

Both Greenwood and Gasner are committed to growing Travel Masters while maintaining a strong sense of connection.

“We are a proudly Canadian-owned agency, local to the West Coast,” Gasner added. “We may not be the biggest host agency, but that means our agents aren’t just numbers—we build meaningful relationships and provide a personalized level of support.”

Greenwood emphasized the importance of innovation, stating, “I want to see the company continue to improve by adopting the latest technology, making it easier for our agents to do what they do best—sell travel and support their clients. We don’t want to be the biggest; we want to be the best.”

Travel Masters says it “extends its deepest gratitude” to Neil McMahon for his many years of leadership and dedication.

“His contributions have built a strong foundation, and his legacy will continue to thrive under the new ownership,” the boutique agency said.
