Before he began operating TravelMaven Small Group & Private Tours, Barry Devolin worked for many years in government, politics, academia and strategic planning & communications. While he is no longer active in public life and does not engage in non-travel related work, Barry remains interested in combining what he did in previous careers with his passion for travel.
Here are a couple of examples.
Since 2018, Barry has worked with families and individuals to create personal or lifetime travel plans. This may be a single trip, or a longer term plan to check multiple items off a Bucket List. In these cases, Barry takes on a role similar to a financial planner helping someone with their retirement plan.
During COVID-19, Barry led DeNure Tours through a Rebrand and Relaunch process. Barry helped to reorganize tour divisions, launch new brands, and update tour agendas and routines to make them more appealing to today’s travellers.
While Barry does not actively seek this work, he is happy to discuss consulting projects related to travel, whether they are personal or for business. Barry has a unique combination of professional experience and is happy to put back on a white collar, just as long as clients don’t expect a jacket and tie too!
