Your Travel Can Help Preserve Military History
CMTA Travel Services is a full-service nonprofit travel agency.
We can help you plan and book virtually any kind of travel. You don’t have to be travelling for military history, riding a motorcycle or visiting a museum to use our services.
Planning a family vacation? A cruise? An all-inclusive getaway? A trip across Canada? Heading overseas? Taking an escorted tour? Planning a road trip? Travelling with a group?
We can help.
What makes CMTA Travel Services a little different is what happens when you choose us for your military history travel.
When we earn travel agency commissions from military history travel, those funds are put back into military history and programming at Veterans Memorial Gardens & Interpretive Centre.
Your journey can help us preserve and share the stories of those who served.

Military & Battlefield Travel Is Special to Us
Our connection to the Canadian Military Tourism Association and Veterans Memorial Gardens & Interpretive Centre gives CMTA Travel Services particular experience and interest in military history travel.
We can help with travel connected to:
- Battlefield tours
- Military museums and historic sites
- Remembrance and commemorative events
- Regimental anniversaries and gatherings
- Military pilgrimages
- Veterans’ travel
- Visits to war cemeteries and memorials
- Journeys following the service of a family member
- Military heritage destinations in Canada and internationally
We also work with battlefield tour companies offering organized journeys to the places where Canadians served.
If you’ve already found the battlefield tour you want, we can help arrange your flights, accommodations before and after the tour, additional sightseeing and extensions to other destinations.
Following in Their Footsteps
Sometimes military travel begins with a name, photograph, medal, service record or family story.
You may want to stand at Vimy Ridge, visit a relative’s grave in France, follow a regiment through the Netherlands, explore the Italian Campaign or visit the community where a family member served.
Those journeys can become much more than vacations.
We can help connect the travel pieces around that experience so you can concentrate on why you’re going.
Stay a Little Longer
If you’re travelling overseas for a battlefield tour, military commemoration or heritage experience, you don’t necessarily have to fly in, take the tour and immediately fly home.
Arrive a few days early.
Stay a little longer.
Explore London, Paris, Amsterdam or another destination. Take a food tour. Visit another museum. Travel by rail to another country. Spend a few days discovering somewhere you’ve always wanted to see.
CMTA Travel Services can arrange pre- and post-tour accommodations, flights, additional tours and other travel experiences around your military history journey.
Travel That Gives Back
When you book military history travel through CMTA Travel Services, you’re doing more than arranging a trip.
The travel agency commission we earn from that military history travel helps support military history and programming at Veterans Memorial Gardens & Interpretive Centre in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Those dollars stay connected to the stories that inspired the journey in the first place.
They help us continue the work of remembering, interpreting and sharing Canada’s military history.
