Following the closing of the transaction with the WestJet Group last month, Sunwing Vacations is finalizing its full winter schedule, which will include new and returning destinations, along with several new or expanded routes which will be announced in the weeks ahead.

The tour operator wants advisors and consumers to know that it remains business as usual at Sunwing Vacations, and the tour operator is not impacted by the upcoming airline-specific integration that was recently announced.

"Sunwing Vacations was built on a commitment to make Canadians' vacation dreams come true, and we are continuing to deliver on that purpose as part of the WestJet Group," said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations.

"Our operations continue as normal and there will be no impact to our valued customers' vacations. In partnership with our esteemed travel advisor community, we are excited to continue offering Canadians the affordable range of products and services that Sunwing Vacations is known for, including incredible savings on sun vacations for the summer and beyond."

Dawson adds: "We also look forward to announcing our full winter program soon, which includes several new destinations and routes that we're sure travel advisors will enjoy visiting and selling to our mutual customers."

As part of the WestJet Group, Sunwing Vacations says it will be in a position to further expand its sun leisure offerings across WestJet's extensive network on a year-round basis, providing Canadians with even more opportunities to travel to their preferred sun destinations. The tour operator will maintain its headquarters in the Greater Toronto Area along with its Quebec head office in the Greater Montreal Area.

"We will leverage the WestJet network in future to drive increased scale and growth to expand our Sunwing Vacations offering, alongside the WestJet Vacations brand," says Dawson.

"It's an exciting time for the business and we look forward to continued collaboration with travel advisors to bring more choice to Canadians now and into the future."
