Sandals Resorts has made it clear to Jamaican travel advisors (formerly travel agents) that its world-renowned hotel chain welcomes local and Caribbean guests as much as it does visitors from the rest of the globe who flock the region to soak up its top-class offerings.
Marking the start of the annually celebrated Global Travel Advisors Month this week, Sandals hosted travel advisors from across Jamaica to experience first hand the facilities that have made the resort the Caribbean’s leading brand, and signal that its arms are open to locals.
In keeping with that message, Unique Vacations, the affiliate of the worldwide representatives of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, sent its most powerful sales executive, Gary Sadler, who travelled all night from Las Vegas, United States, to meet the travel advisors Sunday evening for dinner at the Sandals Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios, St Ann.
“The success of our organisation would not be possible without the support that we get from travel advisors, and while we are doing everything globally to promote tourism, we will not forget Jamaicans and the rest of the Caribbean people,” said Sadler, the Jamaican-born executive vice-president of sales and industry relations at Miami-based Unique Vacations.
