Following an exhaustive six-month search, Goway has hired Craig Canvin as vice president for the UK and Europe. In this newly created position, Canvin will be responsible for growing the Australia and South Pacific specialist’s European business.

“We have been searching for six months for the right person.” said Bruce Hodge, Goway’s founder and president. “In the process, we came to realize the potential for UK-Europe to be as big as our Australia & South Pacific program.”

“Craig Canvin is a veteran travel executive with more than 30 years of experience developing unique, inspirational travel experiences for travellers on all budgets” read the release from Goway. "Goway is known for its customised itineraries, and the expert knowledge of its staff. Craig’s skills and experience make him an excellent fit to fulfil both of those commitments.”

Prior to joining Goway, Craig has held senior positions in TravelBrands/Thomas Cook/MyTravel's Independent Travel Division including Holiday House, Fun Sun Tours and Inter Vacations, and was most recently a vice president at Kensington Tours and TravelEdge.

“Goway.com currently features well over 500 European travel ideas for agents.” Hodge concluded. “With Craig at the helm, we expect this to double over the next 18 months.”
