Destination Management and Group Specialist

Visiting Book of Kells / Trinity College Dublin

For over 45-years I have been a travel professional and a 3rd generation travel expert in Canadian. My grandfather Leo Tobin worked for the White Star Line and opened the third independent travel agency in Canada. Following WWII my father, Garth Allen, joined Tobin's Travel and worked in travel for over 6 decades. You could say that travel is in our blood!

I am recognized as an expert in Destination Management, group and special interest travel and I have an expertise in agri-tourism, soft adventure travel and naturalist tours. Yearly I arrange and personally handle over 30 affinity and non-affinity group projects and have a unique expertise in Study + Leadership Tours for adults. Though I am based on Ontario Canada the majority of my specialized group clients come from the United States and I handle projects for customers in California, Washington State, Nebraska, Montana, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Kentucky, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New York and other US states. Not limited to these, my portfolio also includes incentive travel itineraries, photography tours, walking groups and soft adventure programs.

I have travelled extensively worldwide and my personal favorite destinations are Ireland (been there 5 times), Portugal (been there 3 visits) and any (yes any) cruise going! Through the years I have enjoyed escorting a number of my special groups and I pride myself on the creating of interesting, unique group travel projects.
