Contracted tour and destination services group with management in place
- Revenue FY2025
- $10.1M
- EBITDA FY2025
- $1.6M
An established destination services and tour operations group in British Columbia, with strong track record of delivering significant shareholder value. The company runs contracted visitor programs for cruise lines, guided tours and private group experiences, and ground transportation and further tour services. The group has had the same ownership since 2015 and is run day to day by a hired CEO and a VP, so the owner is fully hands-off.
Investment highlights
- 01
Contracted, recurring revenue
Most revenue comes from long-standing contracts with cruise lines, backed by local vendors and online travel agencies. Revenue has averaged about $8M a year and profitability has been stable year over year.
- 02
Management in place
A hired CEO, with the group for four years, runs the main company, and a VP runs the two smaller ones. The owner is hands-off and can stay on after the sale for the transition.
- 03
Growing and profitable
Revenue of the main company rose from about $7.6M in FY2024 to $8.6M in FY2025. Combined EBITDA of the three companies rose from about $1.4M to $1.6M.
- 04
High barriers to entry
Relationships built over more than ten years with contracting cruise lines, local vendors and online travel agencies are hard for a new entrant to replicate. No direct competitor of the same size operates in the market today.
Growth opportunities
Expand to other regions
The group’s systems and partner-based delivery let it run programs in new regions without heavy fixed investment.
Revenue up 50% by 2030
Management’s five-year forecast calls for revenue to grow about 50% by 2030.
More direct bookings
Direct and online bookings, pricing, and added guest services leave further room to grow on the existing customer base.
