Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations took a different approach to travel advisor training, turning destination knowledge into a friendly competition during The Great Getaway Game Show, held in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

The four-city tour brought travel advisors together for destination trivia, interactive challenges and product education, with a focus on helping them better understand the vacation options and resources available to their clients.

Participants tested their knowledge of destinations and vacation packages while connecting with sales representatives and industry partners.

In Toronto, advisors also heard from NexusTours, which introduced its dedicated travel advisor portal and demonstrated tools designed to help advisors arrange in-destination experiences for their clients.

Events in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton followed a similar format, giving advisors opportunities to connect with local sales teams, ask questions and learn more about the brands' vacation products.

The game show format offered an alternative to traditional training sessions, combining product updates with hands-on activities and opportunities for advisors to exchange knowledge.

Sunwing Vacations and WestJet Vacations say they plan to continue supporting travel advisors through product education, training resources and industry events.
