Looking for a great holiday gift? A future travel experience might be the perfect present in these troubled times.

A new study commissioned by Sunwing finds Canadians are increasingly eager to receive the gift of a future vacation experience.

The survey found that more than half (55%) of Canadians would like to receive the gift of a future vacation or travel certificate this holiday season. What’s more, of those respondents, 89% said they’d be interested in getting an all-inclusive getaway as a gift.

The survey was conducted by Sunwing among members of the Angus Reid Forum between November 16-17, 2020, with a representative sample of 1,507 Canadians, in both English and French.

“Our research shows that many Canadians would love to receive the gift of a future vacation experience this holiday season,” said Samantha Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer of Sunwing Travel Group. “Sunwing is helping Canadians make giving the gift of a sunny getaway easy with a wide range of packages at unbeatable prices, so our customers can experience a truly unforgettable vacation to the tropics under our wing.”

Respondents from Alberta (64%), British Columbia (58%) and Quebec (57%) were most interested in receiving a vacation gift this holiday season;
Among 35-54 year olds who said they wanted to receive a future vacation gift this holiday season, 93% said they would want an all-inclusive vacation;
