TORONTO — Registration is now open for Sandals Resortsʻ 2025 Masterclass training series, set to launch next month and created specifically for the Canadian market by Unique Vacations Canada.
Lorna Richards, National Training Manager, Unique Vacations Canada, will lead the informative and motivational Masterclasses, aimed at helping Canadian travel advisors increase their bookings with Sandals and Beaches Resorts.
A combination of online and six in-person sessions (across select cities) will take place May through October 2025. Space is limited for the in-person sessions so advisors are encouraged to register early. The two-hour online sessions are live and will not be recorded.
Richards will also be joined by a Sandals BDM at each Masterclass, however travel advisors can register for any session that works best with their schedule.
“We are excited to launch our new 2025 Masterclass series and can’t wait to be back on the road with it for the first time in over five years,” said Maureen Barnes-Smith, VP, Sales & Marketing, Canada, Unique Vacations Canada (affiliate of worldwide representatives of Sandals and Beaches Resorts).
“By shining the spotlight on the authentic Caribbean – our Caribbean – and the proud home of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, we’ll be able to help advisors guide their clients to the right resort, the right room category and the right experiences for their next all-inclusive vacation. This all translates to a happy client and a happy advisor,” she added.
