Trevello World Holdings Inc.

What Trevello World Holdings Inc. does

Trevello World Holdings Inc. is a Canadian host travel agency, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with regional offices in Ontario (Oakville) and British Columbia (Langley). The company operates a cloud-based platform that enables independent travel advisors to enroll, access training and business coaching, and book travel through consolidated supplier integrations. Its proprietary technology suite comprises Flight Finder (global airline content with commission-eligibility visibility), Cruise Central (booking engine with access to 32+ cruise lines), Social Boost (automated Facebook marketing), Revenue Reports (sales and commission tracking), and My Travel Site (drag-and-drop website builder). The company serves three primary advisor segments — new-to-industry advisors, experienced advisors switching from other host agencies, and advisor teams — across Canada and the United States.

Trevello monetizes through a hybrid model combining a $49/month or $295/year subscription membership fee with a commission override on supplier bookings (15% standard host-agency fee, with advisors eligible for 100% commission after reaching $15,000 in gross paid commissions in a calendar year). Advisors may additionally charge service fees to clients, which they retain in full. The pricing structure has no booking minimums or sales quotas, lowering barriers to entry for new advisors. Go-to-market is primarily product-led and community-led: self-serve online enrollment is supplemented by an annual conference, twice-yearly provincial summits, and participation in industry events such as HBX Group's MarketHub Americas.

In 2025 Trevello acquired Gifted Travel Network (GTN), an invitation-only boutique luxury travel agency with Virtuoso network affiliation and 14+ luxury hotel preferred-partner programs. The acquisition extends Trevello into the $1.38 trillion luxury travel segment and adds Virtuoso as a distribution channel. The company operates as a privately held, founder-owned entity with no disclosed institutional funding, no public listing, and regulatory registrations including TICO (#5003057), CPBC (#84739), and PIPEDA compliance.
