Sunwing introduces the island of Tobago as its newest destination
October 17 2018 - 3:48PM
Sunwing is pleased to offer Canadians a new tropical destination
this coming winter with the addition of a seasonal flight service
to the Caribbean island of Tobago for the very first time. Direct
flights from Toronto will operate on Thursdays between December 20,
2018 and April 18, 2019 inclusive. Sunwing is anticipated to be the
only Canadian leisure carrier to offer a direct flight service to
this tropical destination.
The smaller of two islands that make up the
nation of Trinidad and Tobago, this beautiful destination attracts
vacationers with its rich heritage, lively culture and lush
landscapes. A popular spot for divers, with crystal-clear waters
that are teeming with vibrant marine life, travellers who choose to
visit this vibrant destination can look forward to relaxing on
pristine beaches, swimming in calm bays and taking in breathtaking
views.
President of Tour Operations for Sunwing, Andrew
Dawson, commented on the news, “We are delighted to be offering our
customers even more choice from Toronto this winter with the
addition of the island of Tobago. 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.”
“Travellers departing from Toronto Pearson have
a new choice for their travels to the south this winter, with
Sunwing’s weekly service to the island of Tobago,” said Kim
Stangeby, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Greater
Toronto Airports Authority. “This new destination provides
convenient nonstop access to leisure travel options in the area and
further enhances the network of more than 170 destinations
passengers can reach with direct service from Toronto Pearson.
Secretary for Tourism, Culture and
Transportation for Tobago, Nadine Stewart-Phillips, also celebrated
the new addition, “The Tobago House of Assembly welcomes Sunwing to
Tobago. Sunwing’s flight and hotel package offering will
significantly enhance our efforts in tourism at all levels.”
Sunwing will offer a number of resorts on the
island including the new Starfish Tobago Resort, opening in
December. This family-friendly resort combines an enviable
beachfront situation with varied accommodations, complimentary
sports and activities such as sailing and two on-site restaurants,
one of which specializes in fresh seafood and island cuisine.
Located on a beautiful stretch of Pigeon Point Beach, Magdalena
Grand Beach and Golf Resort provides luxurious accommodations,
three sparkling pools, lush hiking trails and an on-site
PGA-designed 18-hole, 72 par golf course.
