TORONTO — Sunquest’s new Groups Guide – which will arrive at agencies in the next couple of weeks – is part of a wider groups campaign that the brand is rolling out designed to educate customers about how they can travel for free.

“The aim of this new campaign, and the focus of this new guide, is to raise awareness among agents and their clients about how easy it is to travel for free with Sunquest,” said Nino Montagnese, VP of Sunquest. “Just by taking on the role of group leader, and working with their agent in coordinating the travel plans of their group of eight or more friends and family, the customer is able to reap tremendous savings and benefits.

“We have teamed up with many of our most popular hotel partners in the Caribbean and Mexico to offer a wide range of group travel savings, all of which is featured in the new guide, while also supplying our agent partners with the tools that will enable them to generate even more sales.”

What’s more, travel agents will earn 10X Loyalty Points on every groups booking, and customers travelling as a part of a Sunquest group will each receive a $50 Future Travel Voucher when they book by Aug. 31.

In terms of the resort-specific offers, they vary by hotel but include deals like ‘book 8 adults and the 9th travels free’ from Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts and ‘for every 5 rooms booked, the 6th room is free’ from AMResorts.

The resort partners featured in the new Groups Guide include: Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts; Sandals, Beaches & Grand Pineapple Resorts; IBEROSTAR Hotels & Resorts; AMResorts (Breathless Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Now Resorts & Spas, Secrets Resorts & Spas, Sunscape Resorts & Spas and Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts); Hyatt Zilara and Hyatt Ziva; Palladium Hotels & Resorts; Barceló Hotels & Resorts; Meliá Hotels & Resorts; Meliá Cuba Hotels & Resorts; Palace Resorts; Karisma Hotels & Resorts; Majestic Resorts; Hard Rock Resorts and Occidental Hotels & Resorts.

With Sunquest, all it takes is eight people to qualify as a group to start reaping the many benefits available. Applicable to any mix of adults and kids, a Sunquest group can come together from anywhere across Canada and meet up at the resort of their choosing for a week (or more) at a family reunion, a wedding, a golf week or spa getaway and the group organizer travels for free.

Other benefits of travelling as a Sunquest group include: great pricing and exclusive savings; connections from anywhere across Canada; free seating arrangements to ensure the party is all seated together on their departure and return flights; free private transfers for groups of 10 or more arriving on the same flight; flexible durations; deposit of just $150 per person when booking 45 days prior to departure.
