Initially established to help the members of the Hellenic community of B.C. travel to Greece to spend their holidays with their families, Omega Travel has evolved to become one of Western Canada's expert travel agencies. Panos is also one of the founders of the original Greek Day celebrations in 1974, and instrumental in its 2005 revival.
