Meet Lorraine

Lorraine’s journey in the travel industry is a story of resilience, innovation, and success. In 2005, following the loss of her husband, Lorraine found herself a single mother of four, faced with the challenge of providing for her family. With no prior experience in the industry, she started her own group travel business from the unfinished basement of her home, determined to create a sustainable income while balancing her responsibilities as a mother.

Specializing in weddings and group travel, Lorraine’s business quickly gained traction, and by 2011, she was generating $4 million in revenue. She became a pioneer in the destination wedding sector, long before it was a well-known niche. Lorraine’s commitment to personalized service and her ability to offer unique travel experiences helped her win over 20 prestigious awards, establishing her as a leader in the industry.

After selling her business to a major international company, Lorraine took a brief break. However, her passion for travel led her back into the business in 2013 with the launch of Concierge Travel Group, a full-service luxury travel company. This venture allowed Lorraine to merge her love for high-end, tailored travel experiences with her extensive industry knowledge. Today, Lorraine leads small group culinary and wine tours across the globe, providing travelers with exclusive, insider experiences they won’t find online.

Recognizing the need for advanced training within the travel industry, Lorraine founded "Masterminds of Travel," a program designed for experienced travel agents. This unique initiative combines luxury FAM trips with intensive, destination-based training, allowing professionals to enhance their skills while enjoying high-end travel experiences.

In addition to running her travel business, Lorraine shares her expertise teaching courses and continues to be a sought-after speaker at global travel events. For the past 9 years her favourite “hat” to wear is the media one: now regularly featured as a travel expert on Canadian and US TV, including her regular appearances on the daytime talk show Cityline and staff writer for Village Media which is read by up to 5 million readers each week.

Lorraine’s journey from an unfinished basement to an award-winning travel expert is a testament to her determination and passion for the industry. Today, she remains dedicated to helping others discover the world and grow within the travel profession.
