Sunwing Travel Group recognized on the PROFIT 500 list for 13th consecutive year
18-Jan-2018 Sunwing Travel Group is honoured to be celebrating its 13th year on PROFIT Magazine's list of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies with a five-year growth rate of 156%. Published on CanadaBusiness.com and PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 500 ranks Canadian businesses by their revenue growth. As the only vertically-integrated travel company included on the PROFIT 500 index, Sunwing Travel Group operates a leisure charter airline with a modern fleet of 40 planes, a luxury charter service with access to private jets suited to every type of client, three major North American tour operators, two renowned travel retailers, a hotel division with a portfolio exceeding 14,000 rooms, a vacation club and a destination management company.
"Much of our growth across the lines of business can be attributed to the innovation and value we've been able to create through vertical integration," said Stephen Hunter, President and CEO of Sunwing Travel Group, adding "we've been re-investing in our employees, retail partners, and our customers, all of whom have been critical to our success."
Coinciding with this growth, Sunwing continues to increase its capacity across many of its gateways to connect more Canadians with its most popular destinations; reaching 50 different vacation hotspots from over 35 airports located across the country and offering more top-rated TripAdvisor® resorts than any other Canadian travel company. The hotel division continues to expand and has risen to become the Caribbean's fastest-growing resort chain, with a portfolio that will represent 35 properties across eight countries by end of the year.
With over 18,000 employees internationally, the company has received many accolades including a position on Forbes Best Employers list for 2017, a place on the Financial Post's FP500 list, Awards of Excellence from TripAdvisor® and consecutive wins of the Consumer's Choice Award for top leisure airline in key regions across the country.
