We are equipped with the best and fastest reservation system in the world, providing instant real time confirmations.

Our web site (www.galatravels.com) contains a wealth of information. Umrah and Hajj packages can be researched online at www.bookumrah.ca. Not only are we available 24 hrs/day online, our telephone systems are equipped with the latest in emergency 24hr services, which provide prompt after hours assistance.

Product

In addition to Hajj and Umrah, we at Gala are also vendors for Caribbean Vacations, Cruises, Air Only Deals, Hotels, Car Rental, Escorted Tours, and Train Travel. Overall, Gala Travels boasts top numbers in wholesale, leisure, cruise, and honeymoon bookings. Considered a “market mover” on most travel related products and services, our volumes allow for the highest competitive edge over our competitors. In addition, our customers are privy to special “block space” inventories even in peak travel periods.

As a consolidator for over 40 carriers, we have access to bulk fares that prove to be significantly lower than dealing with the airline direct. In addition, requirements such as minimum stay and/or advance purchase can usually be waived, allowing for the absolutely most competitive fare levels.
