Contests, savings of up to 50% during Sunwing's "Sun Week" promo

Sunwing customers can look forward to the seven hottest days of summer as the tour operator brings back Sun Week, a weeklong extravaganza of big deals, big contests and an even bigger grand prize. 

Kicking off May 29, 2023 until June 4, 2023, travel agents can book their clients’ summer getaways with Sunwing to the southern destinations they love, from Cancun to Cayo Largo, Punta Cana, Montego Bay and more, and enjoy additional savings up to 50 per cent per person on applicable all inclusive vacation packages.

Following Sun Week’s inaugural success, Sunwing has doubled down to make an even bigger splash this summer for customers and agents. 

Whether toying with the idea of a last-minute getaway or planning ahead for that end-of-summer escape, customers who purchase a vacation package or flight only during Sun Week will also be entered to win one of many exclusive prizes expertly designed to help them find their feelgood in paradise with Sunwing. 

Customers will have the chance to win gift cards from Sunwing, Vanilla Visa, Indigo, Walmart and SkipTheDishes, each worth $250 in value, in addition to five pre-paid vouchers for an exhilarating NexusTours excursion and two complimentary vacation packages for two to Punta Cana and Cayo Largo. 

With every contest comes an epic grand prize and this Sun Week, the tour operator is upping the ante with the giveaway of three free all inclusive vacations to one lucky winner. 

Additionally, on every eligible booking, agents will have the exciting chance to win one of seven Sunwing gift cards valued at $250, and the coveted prize of one of three stays at Akumal Bay Beach and Wellness Resort, Riu Palace Peninsula or Riu Palace Riviera Maya in sunny Mexico, including airfare.

“We’re thrilled to be back this summer with Sun Week, our biggest event of the year with limited-time savings and incredible giveaways our customers and travel agent partners definitely won’t want to miss,” said Samantha Taylor, chief marketing officer at Sunwing. “In addition to exclusive Sunwing vacation package perks, like the first checked bag free, we’re excited to gear up for the feel-good contest of the summer and help our customers experience more resorts that won’t break their budget, have more fun right on site and find more adventure in the destinations they love, like Cancun, all while having the chance to win and get the most out of their summer with Sunwing.” 

Canadians are invited to consider a summer getaway to the tropics with a wide selection of sought-after hotels and destinations suitable for every price point. 

Budget-friendly travellers with a focus on mindfulness will adore the picturesque location and serene atmosphere of Cayo Largo, with vacation packages available at the family-friendly Memories Cayo Largo and Starfish Cayo Largo. Those in search of day-to-night excitement, both on and off property, will love Cancun’s variety of hotels with tons of on-site programming and easy access to local attractions and adventure nearby, like Iberostar Paraiso Beach or Sandos Caracol Eco Resort.

Sunwing’s second annual Sun Week is live from May 29, 2023 until June 4, 2023 and open to legal residents of Canada. 

Savings apply to bookings made on applicable packages during this time period, for travel between May 29, 2023 and December 17, 2023. Every customer who books a vacation package or flight only within these dates will automatically receive ten contest entries, including those made by agents where they will continue to earn STAR Agent Reward Points that convert to cash on all Sunwing bookings. 

By June 22, 2023, Sunwing will inform agents should their clients win one of the coveted prizes, and the client will then be notified by the agent directly. Non-purchasing customers are also eligible to enter Sunwing’s Sun Week but are limited to one entry per day and must complete a contest form found on Sunwing.ca.

The tour operator also has added perks, including their first checked bag free at a value of $100+ roundtrip, roundtrip transportation in destination* and unbeatable rates on change and cancellation protection.
