💜 Celebrating 15 Years of Travel Gurus — Our $100,000 Charity Goal!
This year is extra special!
Travel Gurus is celebrating 15 years as a locally owned Alberta travel agency, and we're marking the occasion by giving back in a BIG way.
Across our two exciting events:
✈️ YYC Travel Show — February 20, 2027
✈️ YEG Travel Show — February 21, 2027
We're setting an ambitious goal to raise over $100,000 for charity during our Alberta Travel Show Weekend!
And here in Calgary, 100% of all proceeds from our charity travel raffles will go directly to a local Calgary charity.
By purchasing a charity raffle ticket, you're not only entering for a chance to win incredible travel prizes — you're also helping make a meaningful difference in our local community.
Raffle tickets are sold separately from admission. Winners do not need to remain at the event unless otherwise indicated in the individual prize rules. Winning numbers will be published and winners contacted.
Come for the travel inspiration. Stay for the excitement. Help us give back to Alberta!
