Cancun's huge new beach proving a hit with Sunwing
Cancun’s huge new beach proving a hit with Sunwing
“Spectacular” and “stunning” – are just two words being used by Sunwing’s senior management to describe the Cancun’s remarkable new beach.
The perennially-popular Mexican resort is in the process of completing an enormous expansion project on its beaches, resulting in a “new” Cancun featuring almost 11 km of 40 meter wide powdery white sand.
“This has been a remarkable achievement,” says Daryl McWilliams, Sunwing’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “Our passengers have always told us they love Cancun for its white sand beaches and turquoise waters, but with this transformation we predict it’s going to be more popular than ever.” This winter, Sunwing offers flights on board Sunwing Airlines to Cancun from 16 cities across Canada, from Victoria to its newest gateway, St. John’s. And the company offers a whopping 26 resorts in Cancun, from five-star elegance to low-key, family-friendly hotels.
Cancun is also basking in the glow of two recent awards: it has been named “best destination in Mexico” by the readers of Travel Weekly, and “Mexico’s best-selling destination” by Recommend Magazine.
“We’re not surprised at all to read of these accolades,” says McWilliams. “For years Cancun has delivered wonderful vacations – and this winter, thanks to the strong Canadian dollar and fewer American visitors, we’re seeing unbelievable value in all inclusive holiday packages, and pricing we haven’t seen in years. Combine that with Cancun’s great climate, sports, shopping, nightlife – and now truly fabulous beach – and it’s no wonder Canadians’ love affair with Cancun is stronger than ever.” Canadian visits to Cancun are actually up in number year over year, he added, and every year the percentage of Canadian visitors of the worldwide total is increasing.
