Antoine Gordon named BDM for AB, MB & NWT at Unique Vacations Canada

Calgary-based Antoine Gordon has been appointed as business development manager for Alberta, Manitoba and Northwest Territories for Unique Vacations Canada, the sales and marketing arm of Sandals and Beaches Resorts.

The role, announced by Maureen Barnes-Smith, VP of sales & marketing Canada on Monday (March 9), takes effect immediately.

Gordon joins the Canadian sales team for Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts with a “solid sales background,” in travel and beyond, in both Canada and the United States, the company said.

“As a Travel Industry Council of Ontario - (TICO) - certified travel advisor, he inherently understands the day-to-day needs of travel advisors which will serve him well in his new role,” the company said.

In addition to helping travel advisors in his region develop and execute successful sales and marketing strategies to grow their business with Sandals and Beaches, Gordon will support tour operators and tourist board partners in Western Canada.  

“Unique Vacations Canada has had in-market sales representation in Western Canada for over 30 years, beginning with Gary C. Sadler, who is now our Executive Vice President, Sales & Industry Relations,” said Barnes-Smith in a statement. “We planted the flag long before any other Caribbean resort company decided to venture west.”

“Antoine’s appointment reaffirms our commitment to support our partners in Alberta, Manitoba and yes, the Northwest Territories,” continued Barnes-Smith.  “His sales skills combined with his social media savvy are a sure-fire way to success, for both himself and for the travel advisors in his region.”
