TORONTO — Air Canada Vacations and Unique Vacations Canada, an affiliate of the worldwide representatives of Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts, have teamed up for a series of agent meet-and-greets across Canada.

Taking place over the past few months, the in-person visits spanned from Vancouver to Halifax, during which agents learned about the longstanding partnership between the two brands. In fact, Air Canada Vacations is the only Canadian tour operator with direct flights to each and every island destination that is home to a Sandals or Beaches resort.

“Simply put, Sandals and Beaches clients are ACV clients and vice versa,” said Maureen Barnes-Smith, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Unique Vacations Canada. “Canadian travel advisors know that it’s a win-win for their clients who want a quality product and exceptional service when they book a Sandals or Beaches package with Air Canada Vacations. After all, they’re placing their trust in not one, but two strong brands.”
