Travel Advisor Success Story: An Inclusive Travel Comeback

Over the past 40 years, Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has attracted impassioned travel advisors as brand ambassadors. These partnerships have led to professional success for both the Travel Advisor and the Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts brands. Read on to learn how Sandals’ company vision prioritizes lasting relationships with travel advisors and establishes beneficial brand commitment.

Building back with Sandals after the pandemic: I started my agency in 2005 selling a limited portfolio of highly curated resort options, only adding destinations and cruises as they’ve proven themselves valuable and consistently excellent, and a good fit for our existing client base. It was only after I began touring and experiencing Sandals and Beaches resorts myself at the end of 2019, that I spearheaded our agency’s marketing and increased sales of Sandals/ Beaches.

Despite the challenging time of our launch into selling Sandals at the beginning of the pandemic, we’ve seen dramatic growth. The Sandals product is helping us rebuild our business after the losses we endured due to Covid 19. By participating in their Back to the Beach and other onsite immersion opportunities, we’ve demonstrated the safety and security of traveling to our client base and I’m thrilled to report the many bookings we’ve made, which have already traveled, have all resulted in extremely satisfied clientele.

The singularly unique autism program offered at Beaches Resorts and trained into every Beaches team member offers a way for us to help families who very much need a vacation to travel in unparalleled peace. My belief in the healing and happiness only travel brings led to the founding of our company and the unique vision that we could endeavor to make travel possible for families with hurdles — who didn’t believe it was possible, for any reason.
