Trevello World Holdings Inc., parent company of Trevello Canada, has acquired Gifted Travel Network (GTN), a US-based host agency specializing in the luxury travel sector. The move marks the first step in Trevello’s strategic plan to expand beyond Canada and establish a foothold in the US market.

“This is a pivotal moment for Trevello as we bring our proven expertise and commitment to advisor success into the world’s largest travel market,” said Morris Chia, Founder and CEO of Trevello World Holdings Inc. “GTN’s stellar reputation in the luxury sector and dedication to fostering a collaborative, entrepreneurial community make them the perfect partner to help accelerate our growth strategy.”

GTN will continue to operate as a brand division of Trevello World Holdings, maintaining its focus on luxury travel while benefiting from Trevello’s broader market expertise and supplier relations.

Chia will oversee Trevello’s expansion into the US market, supported by Trevello World Holding’s Co-Founder and COO Zeina Gedeon, who currently leads operations for Trevello Canada. GTN’s co-founder Jen Cochrane will remain as CEO. Additionally, Cochrane and Meredith Calloway become shareholders in Trevello World Holdings.

Chia notes GTN’s strong emphasis on professional development programs, entrepreneurial support, and a strong community stating, “We are committed to developing a sustainable and rewarding future for travel advisors. With the acquisition of GTN we are taking the first step forward in starting to reimagine what success looks like in this industry.”
