TORONTO — Sunwing’s newest destination is a tiny island known for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life and pristine beaches, all of which are must-haves on Canadians’ vacation checklists.
The sun-soaked island of Tobago has just been announced as the tour operator’s latest destination for this winter season. Upon launching from Toronto, the new direct service will mark the first time Sunwing is offering the Caribbean island, and will also make it the only Canadian leisure carrier to offer direct service.
Flights will operate on Thursdays between Dec. 20, 2018 and April 18, 2019 inclusive.
“We are delighted to be offering our customers even more choice from Toronto this winter with the addition of the island of Tobago,” said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations. “Offering beach relaxation, warm Caribbean hospitality and a wide range of tours and excursions to experience, we’re sure that Tobago will prove to be a popular addition to our roster.”
On the impact Sunwing’s flights will have on the island, Nadine Stewart-Phillips, Secretary for Tourism, Culture and Transportation for Tobago, said: “The Tobago House of Assembly welcomes Sunwing to Tobago. Sunwing’s flight and hotel package offering will significant enhance our efforts in tourism at all levels.”
Sunwing will offer a number of resorts on the island to complement the new flights, including the upcoming Starfish Tobago Resort, opening this December. This family-friendly resort combines an enviable beachfront location with varied accommodations, complimentary sports and activities such as sailing, and two on-site restaurants. There’s also Magdalena Grand Beach and Golf Resort located on a beautiful stretch of Pigeon Point Beach, which features luxury accommodations, three pools, hiking trails and an on-site PGA-designed, 18-hole, 72-par golf course.
All Sunwing packages to Tobago include return airfare and airport transfers, accommodations and the services of a Sunwing representative. Groups of 10 adults can receive special prices, added values and reduced deposits. For more information on Group deals, go to https://www.sunwing.ca/Pages/en/group-quote.
