Sandals Cutting Funjet Ties Creates More Work for Travel Agents, But Not a Deal-Breaker

Sandals and Beaches Resorts’ decision to sever its distribution relationship with Funjet Vacations, one of many brands under the Mark Travel umbrella that recently merged with Apple Vacations, will prove to be a temporary business disruption for travel agents who sell the luxury all-inclusive resort company, but not a move that is expected to impact whether travel agents sell them or not. “I definitely saw it coming,” said Georgiann Jaworskyj, owner of Custom Travel Services in Merchantville, New Jersey, and the second-highest seller of Sandals Resorts in her state. “I have felt for the past five years that Sandals was moving away from tour operators and pushing business to Unique Vacations.”
