Canadian advisors are invited to join Lorna Richards, National Training Manager, Unique Vacations Canada, for an informative and motivational Masterclass…to help get them closer to increased bookings with Sandals and Beaches Resorts. A combination of online and six in-person sessions (across select cities) 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. Lorna will also be joined by a Sandals Business Development Manager 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,” says 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.”
