Toronto, Ontario, Canada Goway Travel Full time

Job Type: Full Time, Hybrid
Location: Toronto
Reporting to: VP of People and Culture

Goway Travel was founded in Toronto in 1970 by Bruce Hodge, a young Australian economist who moved to Canada to follow his dreams.

From there, we have established ourselves as a global influence with offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Sydney, and Manila. While the travel industry endured major challenges, our strong foundations allowed Goway to forge ahead. We continually innovated, invested in new technology, and challenged the status quo.

Still owned and operated by Bruce, with the support of his leadership board, our mission has always been to help our clients realize their travel dreams. Today, we are an industry-leading, global travel company with over 700 employees. Our team of experts utilizes cutting-edge technology to tailor-make 4 and 5-star travel experiences in over 100 countries around the world.

At Goway Travel, we're a group of dreamers and doers, inspired by our founder's incredible journey. He didn't just follow a career path, he followed his heart and in doing so, he built a company that helps others follow theirs.

If you're passionate about travel and innovation, we invite you to be a part of our exciting journey
