About Me

Group Experience Specialist

 

I started her career over 30 years ago with CAA Travel and American Express Travel in Ontario, Canada.  In 2008 my family moved to Beaumont, Alberta where I joined Uniglobe Travel as Managing Groups Supervisor, overseeing a team of group specialists across Western Canada.

My responsibilities included the management of processes, exemplary service levels, cost management, customer care, group supplier relations and engagement. I have extensive experience designing and managing complex international group itineraries and corporate travel services.

Some of my achievements include the management of corporate trade mission groups, international out of country conferences to Europe and the coordination of philanthropy groups for Plan Canada. I was also honored to have had the privilege of co-escorting a group of 75 pilgrims to the Holy Land with his Grace, Archbishop Smith. 

I joined Network Travel in early 2021 and I brings extensive experience designing and managing complex international group itineraries and corporate travel services.

My passion and love for travel inspires me in making your travel dreams happen.

Well-Planned, Well-Led, Memorable Pilgrimage
Reviewed By Travel Junkie - Beaumont, Alberta | Traveled to Israel ~ Middle East
Jackie Abello organized a pilgrimage to the Holy Land for November 2019. I normally prefer to travel independently, setting my own itinerary and booking my own travel and accommodations. What a pleasure to have every detail carefully attended to on our behalf. Jackie accompanied us on this trip and at all times - before, during, and after our travels - she was available to answer questions and allay any concerns. Jackie is highly organized and meticulous, experienced and knowledgeable, reliable and efficient. She dedicated whatever time was necessary - even while on the pilgrimage - to ensure that everything unfolded as planned, for our comfort, enjoyment, and satisfaction. Jackie builds relationships with her clients and earns their trust. Her friendly, cheerful nature contributed to a very positive travel experience. She hired an excellent local guide. The attention Jackie gave to carefully planning our pilgrimage translated into a problem-free, highly enjoyable trip.

One of the Most Unforgettable Experiences
Reviewed By Liz - Edmonton, AB | Traveled to Cuba ~ Caribbean
We have travelled all over the world with Jackie's help for the past twenty years. Always "smooth sailing" from booking to returning home. One of the most outstanding was a trip to Australia and returning via Hong Kong with our teenage son. Another trip was to Cuba.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ready for another great adventure
Reviewed By Can't wait - Parkland County | Traveled to Europe
Our first experience with Jackie was booking our amazing trip to Africa. She was extremely helpful and competent. Unfortunately we had to cancel this trip due to medical reasons and even though it was an extremely stressful time for us and the company she continued to offer great service and so helpful. Now we are booking another trip and feel extremely confident , so much so, we have recommended our friends to book the same trip

Superb/memorable trips of a lifetime!
Reviewed By World Travellers - Bon Accord AB | Traveled to England ~ Europe
Remarkable. Demonstrates exemplary travel service/information throughout all stages of the trip. Touches base with you prior to trip and follow-ups after. Have total trust and confidence when there may be an issue during a trip; your travel specialist is there for you and resolves the issues quickly/efficiently.

The best!
Reviewed By Dmac - Beaumont, alberta | Traveled to Quebec ~ Canada
Working with Jackie was awesome! I have been working with her for years to plan a week long trip to Quebec and Ottawa for approximately 60-70 students and parents. She is amazing! Everything gets done so efficiently and always at a good cost. Jackie makes sure that everything runs smoothly. I have never had any issues. Jackie also checks in to make sure that you are happy and that youRe being treated well. It is evident that customer service is very important to her and that she takes pride in a job well done. I highly recommend her and only have the utmost respect for her!
