Changes at The Travel Corporation Canada

The Travel Corporation Canada has announced two new strategic executive appointments with the news that Cris David will become the President of Lion World Travel and Brad Ford will become president of Insight Vacations, effective June 26, 2017.

Ford had previously served as president of Lion World Travel, while David was Insight Vacations’ president.

“One of TTC’s greatest strengths is our team members’ talents, strong skill sets and the ability to adapt, as our business continues to grow year over year. We are very committed to promoting from within, whenever possible,” said Jeff Element, president, The Travel Corporation Canada.

“Cris David and Brad Ford are proven, strong leaders who were both previously Contiki Canada’s president, and these lateral appointments perfectly compliment their respective, extensive industry experience. We heartily congratulate them both in their new roles.”

Element added, “Cris’ family roots are South African and he has admired and worked with Lion World Travel’s CEO, Lucile Sive for the past 15 years who is also a fellow South African and he has first-hand experience and knowledge of the African continent and its growing tourism economy. His eight years of leadership at Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold is the perfect segue to promote Lion World’s affordable luxury safaris.

“Brad Ford was Contiki Canada’s President for six years and has effectively enhanced our relationships with our valued industry partners. Also, his in-depth expertise in promoting Europe, The Americas, Down Under and Asia will enable him to strategically highlight Insight Vacations’ ever-expanding premium and luxury product portfolio across six continents. It is truly exciting times ahead for our organization and they have our full support.”
