Travel Agent Sense: Sandals and Beaches Resorts

a Sky Pool Suite at Sandals LaSource Grenada

Travel Agent Sense - a series of posts that we will share with our valued readers and clients.  One of the things that sets Travel Haus apart from booking on your own and even some other agencies is that we often meet with the tour companies and our agents get trained on the latest updates and news.  We have REAL relationships and contacts! 

This past week, Nathan Maruso with Sandals & Beaches Resorts was in our office and here are some of the highlights of his visit with us.   For even more great info be sure to join our exclusive webinar with Nathan on Wednesday, March 14th at 7pm!  Click here to register now.
