Paddling Maligne Lake
Mountains of Value
Savings, deals and a Rocky’s worth of reasons to book with AMA Travel
WhiteWater rafting in Jasper . Fudge
shopping in Banff. Grizzly watching at
Lake Louise. Stampeding in Calgary.
Fringing in Edmonton. Alberta comes
alive in the summer with weekend
excursions filled with mountains of
relaxation, adventure, and sights to see
in our literal mountains!
But how often do we skimp on the
things that can turn a vacation into an
experience that we’ll remember long
past the long weekend? Maybe it’s
travelling by train rather than car. Or
stopping at a few hidden spots along
the way. Or finding that perfect, quaint
hotel right on the mountain’s edge that’s
as much a part of the experience as the
mountains themselves.
As an AMA member, you don’t have
to skimp. AMA Travel makes it their
business to take members’ trips from
base camp to the peak of what a vacation
should be, and it all starts with the
details. AMA has relationships with
every stupendous lodge and cozy cottage

AMA InsIder
from the Rockies to the Saskatchewan
border, thanks to their dedicated team
of mountain-hotel experts—who’ve
been booking Albertans into hotels
across the province for more than 90
years. Not only can they find you the
right hotel, but thanks to AMA’s nearly
million-strong membership, they secure
rates you simply can’t get elsewhere.
And with additional exclusive offers—
such as complimentary breakfasts and
free-night stays, and savings on river
tours and other excursions—the frills
become affordable.
And it’s so easy to book. Everything
you find on AMATravel.ca is exactly
what AMA’s travel agents see; you can
book a top-quality trip on the go from
your phone. But of course, there are still
AMA’s travel agents, who you can reach
on the phone or in-centre. They know
your provincial backyard better than the
groundhogs, and are there for you when
you need to make last-minute changes,
when you’re looking for suggestions,
and to make sure you’re well taken care
of before, during, and after your trip.
This treatment doesn’t stop at
Alberta’s borders. With more than
300,000 hotel partners across North
America, you’ll get the same service
from coast to coast and even in the
United States, all backed by AMA
Travel’s Best Price Guarantee.
Nor are the benefits limited to hotels.
With your AMA membership, you can
get amazing rates on car rentals from
nearly a dozen companies, and save
at restaurants, clothing stores and
attractions too. And if you lock yourself
out of your car—even in Oregon—
roadside assistance will help get you
back on the road.
So next time you’re planning a trip,
think of AMA Travel. Because they’re
thinking of you—and want to help take
your vacation to the top of the mountain.
