Jason Jamie Chan

Early life

Growing up in the Canadian Rockies, Jason developed an early connection to the mountains and outdoor lifestyle in Alberta. Weekend hiking trips, skiing and exploring the surrounding area became regular parts of his life.

His love for Western Canada grew when he moved to Vancouver in his early adulthood. Living on the West Coast introduced him to another side of the region, including coastal communities, local restaurants, cafes, outdoor recreation, and Vancouver culture. 

Living in both provinces gave Jason firsthand knowledge of the differences and connections between Alberta and B.C., which has greatly helped his work as a travel advisor. 

Career

Jason has spent 20+ years travelling and learning about destinations in Western Canada. As an independent travel advisor, he works with clients to create personalized itineraries based on their interests, travel style and expectations.

His specialty is luxury travel within Alberta and British Columbia. His itineraries can include boutique hotels, wilderness lodges, fine dining, outdoor activities, wellness experiences, cultural attractions, and scenic road trips. He knows how to find hidden-gem destinations most tourists ignore. 

Jason prioritizes getting to know his clients before making recommendations. A couple planning a relaxing getaway might have different priorities from a family exploring the region or clients celebrating a milestone. By learning what matters to each traveller, he can build trips around specific interests rather than creating an ordinary itinerary.

Over the years, Jason has built relationships with hoteliers, private guides, restaurant owners, and other professionals in Western Canada’s hospitality and tourism industries. These connections give him insight into accommodations, dining experiences and activities that may be hard to find through general online research.

Food and hospitality are a big focus in Jason’s itineraries. He has highlighted Western Canada’s farm-to-table restaurants, independent culinary businesses and regional food scenes as important parts of travel. His itineraries can also incorporate local arts, sporting events and cultural activities. 

Outdoor travel is another area of expertise. Jason’s familiarity with the Rocky Mountains and Coastal B.C has helped him recommend the best spots for hiking, scenic drives, and unique nature experiences.

He also writes travel content. His blog featuries stories about destinations, restaurants, regional experiences, and practical tips for travelling in Western Canada. Jason has a special interest in the less obvious sides of Western Canadian travel, often talking about the value of visiting smaller communities and travelling during quieter seasons. 

In his view, the appeal of travel planning comes from helping people find places that fit their individual needs. His work combines regional knowledge, personal connections and detailed itinerary planning to create trips that reflect the character of Western Canada.
