Sandals Resorts is the global sponsor of Global Travel Advisor Day 2024, partnering with the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) to honor travel advisors on their special day.
Sandals Resorts and ASTA are joining together for a Facebook Live session with ASTA President Zane Kerby and Gary C. Sadler, Executive Vice President of Sales and Industry Relations at Unique Vacations Inc., an affiliate of the worldwide representatives for Sandals Resorts and Beaches® Resorts. It’ll be live on ASTA’s Facebook page at 2:00 p.m. EST.
One lucky travel advisor who attends the event will win a three-night stay to the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
“We are overjoyed to continue our collective commitment with Sandals Resorts to our valued Travel Advisors and their steadfast dedication to providing their clients with unforgettable experiences,” said Zane Kerby, President and CEO of the American Society of Travel Advisors. “We greatly value partners such as Sandals for the organization’s unwavering support of the Travel Advisor community and for seamlessly aligning with ASTA’s mission of facilitating the business of selling travel through effective representation, shared knowledge and the enhancement of professionalism.”
Live Events at Sandals and Beaches Resorts
Travel advisors will also have the opportunity to connect and celebrate in person with the “Back to the Beach” event, which offers five days of sessions, coffee chats and networking opportunities for travel advisors at Beaches Turks & Caicos. Attendees will enjoy a Global Travel Advisor Day luncheon attended by the Turks and Caicos Islands’ Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Josephine Connolly.
Later in the month, from May 13 through May 17, travel advisors will flock to the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for the Sandals Travel Advisor Recognition (STAR) Awards.
A Travel Advisor Appreciation Month Booking Incentive
Travel advisors who make new bookings of six nights or more at any Sandals or Beaches resort through Unique Vacations, Inc. throughout the month of May for travel through December 26, 2023 will enjoy a booking bonus of up to $200 for each booking. More information is available on the travel agent portal.
“From the brand’s inception, we have always recognized that Travel Advisors are the heartbeat of our industry. We not only express our sincerest gratitude for their unwavering commitment today, but every day,” said Gary C.
