Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations have wrapped up The Great Getaway Game Show, a four-city tour that turned travel advisor training into an interactive competition.

Held in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, the events combined destination trivia, team challenges and opportunities to connect with sales representatives and industry partners.

Advisors tested their destination expertise while learning about the brands’ vacation offerings and resources to help match Canadian clients with suitable vacation experiences.
