TDC expands in Saskatchewan with new Marlin Travel location

Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) has announced the opening of a brand-new Marlin Travel agency in the heart of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, owned by two dynamic entrepreneurs, Sheena Revet and Heather Calvert. 

The two women, owners of another Marlin Travel agency in Regina, joined the TDC network in 2021.

 “We are beyond excited to announce the opening of our second travel agency, right on Main Street in charming Moose Jaw,” said Revet, speaking for her co-owner, in a press release. “As a locally and Canadian-owned business, this milestone reflects our deep commitment to serving communities across Southern Saskatchewan with exceptional travel planning expertise.”

“The location at 502 Main Street, Moose Jaw has been a travel agency since 1981, so, when the location became available, it was a no-brainer for us to rebrand it with the Marlin Travel logo.” 

Calvert emphasizes the range of services offered. “From luxury river cruises to all-inclusive vacations, we’re proud to offer personalized planning, backed by an experienced, passionate, homegrown team of 11 travel professionals who understand what Saskatchewan travellers truly want.”

Dianne Jackson, director of franchise and affiliate members at TDC, expressed her delight about the expansion. 

“We are thrilled to see the Marlin brand continue to grow.  The opening of a second location for our franchisees, Heather Calvert and Sheena Revet, is a testament to the strength and trust behind the Marlin brand and TDC as a network,” she said. 

 She also highlights the brand’s reputation for personalized service and expertise. 

“Marlin continues to be the go-to choice for Canadians seeking unforgettable travel experiences for more than 35 years,” she said. “For customers, brand awareness is important when choosing a company, and especially when trust is a factor. This is even more true when we’re talking about a service company. This trust, built over the long term, is a differentiating factor worth its weight in gold, especially in an industry with fierce competition. As an organization, TDC is proud to see its members, such as Heather and Sheena, develop and grow this brand.” 

According to a study conducted by Ipsos in 2024 on behalf of TDC, the Marlin Travel Brand enjoys an enviable reputation with customers and was at the top of the list of brands that inspire the most confidence in Canadians.
