Unique Vacations Canada, which represents Sandals and Beaches Resorts, is celebrating Travel Agent Day with prizes, gifts and incentives. It is also raising the profile of the importance of the travel agent role with full-page ads in today’s Globe and Mail and Toronto Star.

“It’s no secret that Sandals Resorts loves and supports travel advisors,” the company says. “Since day one in 1981 when Sandals Montego Bay opened its doors and every day since then, travel advisors have played a key role in the company’s success for over 40 years.”

Maureen Barnes-Smith, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Canada, Unique Vacations Canada Inc. elaborates:

“Now more than ever before, consumers need the expertise of a professional travel advisor to help them navigate the ever-changing travel landscape and choose a partner they can trust. We couldn’t think of a better way to let Canadian consumers know that the days of ‘DIY Travel’ are over than by placing ads in two leading newspapers so readers from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John’s, Newfoundland can be reminded of what we’ve always known….travel advisors are the trusted travel experts.”
