TORONTO — It will be a very merry holiday season indeed with newly launched Sunwing Gift Cards.
Available now, the digital gift cards can be purchased online at sunwing.ca in denominations ranging from $50 to $2,500. Gift cards can be easily redeemed online, with travel agents or through the Sunwing Sales Centre, and can be used towards the purchase of any Sunwing product including vacation packages, flights, room upgrades, excursions, private transfers and more.
The launch of Sunwing Gift Cards comes on the heels of Sunwing’s new survey, which found that 71% of Canadians are interested in receiving the gift of an experience this holiday season. Survey results also found that 80% of Canadians are interested in receiving a gift card, and 59% are receptive to a gift card that can be used towards an all-inclusive vacation.
Additional findings include:
- 76% of Canadians with a household income of $100,000 or more are interested in receiving the gift of an experience, followed by those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 (70%) and those earning under $50,000 (66%), respectively
- Adults aged 18-34 are most eager to receive a gift card, with 83% of respondents in this age group saying they would be interested in a gift card this holiday season, followed closely by 81% of respondents aged 35-54 and 77% of Canadians 55 years of age and older
- Quebec tops the list of provinces with the highest percentage of respondents who are very interested in receiving a gift card for the holidays at 50%, followed by Manitoba at 46%
The survey was conducted by Sunwing among members of the Angus Reid Forum between Nov. 30-Dec. 1 2021, with a nationally representative sample of 1,511 Canadians, in both English and French.
“Sunwing Gift Cards are the perfect present for everyone on your gift list this year,” commented Samantha Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer at Sunwing Travel Group. “More Canadians are dreaming of a tropical getaway, and our newly launched gift cards are an excellent option since they can be used towards a vacation from start to finish, including flights, hotels and excursions. Our research shows that an overwhelming percentage of Canadians are eager to receive a gift card this festive season, with nearly three-fifths keen to receive a gift card for an all-inclusive vacation. Plus, Sunwing Gift Cards don’t expire so they can be redeemed whenever customers are ready and able to travel.”
Gift card recipients can choose from a range of vacation packages for every travel style, whether they’re planning a family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a romantic adults-only retreat. Plus, customers can change their plans anytime with no fees and travel with confidence thanks to complimentary COVID-19 medical coverage included on most all-inclusive packages booked between Sept. 27, 2021 and Jan. 17, 2022, for travel between Nov. 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022.
