Adventure House Travel expands again Within the last two years, Oakville's Adventure House Travel has expanded exponentially with the acquisitions of two established local travel agencies, Uniglobe Glen Abbey in 2012 and Egan Travel (Halton Trafalgar Travel) in May of this year. "Our growth and success are largely due to a veteran staff who always put the clients first, delivering a worry free travel experience," said Ron Dawick, president of Uniglobe Adventure House Travel and travel industry leader for more than 40 years with retail, airline and tour operator management experience. "I would also like to thank the people of Oakville who are fiercely loyal to local companies that deliver excellence. Experienced travellers know that well-planned, well-priced travel is still a job for professionals. Our customers keep returning, and recommending us, because we make their lives easier and deliver great value. That will never go out of style." Shortly after the first acquisition, Uniglobe Adventure House Travel was recognized for achieving the largest growth of any Uniglobe agency in eastern Canada and named Uniglobe Partner Agency of the Year. This was followed by Air Canada awarding the agency with its Circle of Excellence designation, reserved for its top sellers. It was a wonderful combination of specialties, said longtime Glen Abbey Travel owner Karen Oliver at the time, with Adventure House specializing in corporate travel and Glen Abbey, in leisure travel and groups. The acquisition of Egan Travel was another "great fit," said Dawick. "Egan Travel has a strong specialty in vacation travel. Both companies offer specialized group trips and we now have more to offer our respective clients." Egan Travel had been owned and operated by Fergus and Irene Egan for more than 30 years, the agency a familiar sight in downtown Oakville at the corner of Church Street and Trafalgar Road. After the recent merger, not only did all longtime Egan staff members remain with the company, but the location did not change, offering a convenient alternative for clients of Uniglobe Adventure House, which is based at 101-1660 North Service Road E., just north of the QEW and east of Trafalgar.
