TORONTO — Travel advisors traded their usual training sessions for buzzers, challenges and a little friendly competition as Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations took The Great Getaway Game Show on the road.

The four-city tour recently wrapped up in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, bringing advisors together to test their destination knowledge, explore the brands’ vacation offerings and make valuable industry connections.

Featuring destination trivia, interactive challenges and friendly competition, the events offered an engaging way for advisors to sharpen their product knowledge and learn about key destinations and resources. Led by enthusiastic hosts in each city, the sessions focused on helping advisors better match Canadian travellers with vacation experiences suited to their needs and preferences.

In Toronto, advisors also heard from NexusTours, which introduced its dedicated travel advisor portal and highlighted the tools available to help clients make the most of their in-destination experiences.

In Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, local teams brought their own energy to the competition, creating opportunities for advisors to connect directly with sales representatives and industry partners while expanding their product knowledge.

Beyond the competition, The Great Getaway Game Show reinforced Sunwing Vacations’ and WestJet Vacations’ commitment to equipping travel advisors with the knowledge, tools and connections needed to confidently recommend vacation experiences.

Both brands thanked the travel advisors, hosts and industry partners who contributed to the tour’s success, reaffirming their commitment to supporting the trade through continued product education, valuable resources and opportunities to connect.
