Sunwing Vacations, Make-A-Wish Canada, and Planet Hollywood Cancun are partnering to grant a special wish trip for 30 children with critical illnesses and their families.
Departing June 12 from Montreal, the group will enjoy a week-long stay at Planet Hollywood Cancun, Mexico.
The trip focuses on Quebec-based families and Canadian francophone communities, providing a chance to create lasting memories on the shores of Playa Mujeres.
According to a press release, the families will travel on a Planet Hollywood-branded charter flight with bilingual crew, donated by Sunwing Vacations.
"At Sunwing Vacations, we believe in the power of travel to uplift, heal, and connect. We are incredibly proud to support this first-ever all-inclusive group Wish Trip to Mexico, helping bring joy and cherished memories to children and families who truly deserve a moment of magic," Lyne Chayer, VP of Sunwing Vacations Group Quebec, said.
At Planet Hollywood Cancun, the families will be greeted by Sunwing’s local partner, NexusTours, and transported to the resort via upgraded private transfers.

Meaghan Stovel McKnight, CEO of Make-A-Wish Canada, said, "We're so excited to partner with Sunwing Vacations and Planet Hollywood Cancun to launch this first-of-its-kind group wish trip—an experience made even more special by its focus on serving Quebec-based families and other Canadian francophone communities.
"From the gate to the resort and all the way back home, we're confident this experience will bring much-needed strength and healing to these wish kids and their families."
Travel wishes are a part of Make-A-Wish Canada’s work, with 72% of wishes granted last year involving travel.
Jurgen Stutz, Senior Vice President at Blue Diamond Resorts, which manages Planet Hollywood Cancun, said, "Knowing that our Resort plays a role in creating unforgettable memories for these families is a true honor.
"Planet Hollywood Cancun was built around the magic of storytelling and once-in-a-lifetime experiences and helping bring dreams to life for so many young guests perfectly reflects that spirit."
Sunwing Vacations and Make-A-Wish Canada will share updates from the trip on their social media channels as the families enjoy their time at Planet Hollywood Cancun.
