About us
World Wide Travel One
World Wide Travel One Agency Group is one of Canada's largest privately-owned, full-service travel agencies.

World Wide Travel One was established on September 1, 1960 in Timmins, Ontario, where we continue to operate the original travel centre today. We were founded through the sponsorship of Trans Canada Airlines (now Air Canada) and British Overseas Airline Corporation (now British Airways) in an effort to bring a needed professional client based travel services to Northern Ontario. We began connecting the north to the world with our first hand-written ticket from Timmins, Ontario to Rome, Italy on our first day of operations. In 1960, an airline ticket often took a travel agent an entire day to research and hand write the ticket before waiting for final confirmation by overnight telex machines from the individual airline carriers.
How time has changed our business. We now operate multiple locations throughout Ontario, where we issue clients thousands of airline, cruise, rail, hotel and resort tickets a week, instantly through our global reservation systems and multilingual services. As one of the oldest travel agencies in Ontario, we continue to position ourselves for decades of service growth based on remembering our premier client service roots to ensure that all of our clients receive the best experience in the travel industry.

Christmas Card ProgramWe were one of the first travel agency groups in Canada to do “cardless mailing” and use the funds normally budgeted for Christmas Card Program to provide cash donations to some of Canada’s top children hospitals and trauma centres in various locations in Canada. We continue this program to this date and are proud to share that we have donated tens of thousands of dollars to these various hospital foundations to support the inspirational services they provide to children and families.
