Sunwing has announced that Steven Tuzzolino has joined the company and will take up the new position of Director of Sales for Quebec.

With extensive experience in sales management in the Quebec market, Tuzzolino is well known in the industry and, in recent years, has developed a strong relationship with many agents. For the past seven years, he has led the promotion and business development of Qatar Airways in Quebec. Prior to this, Tuzzolino held a number of senior management positions in revenue management for VIA Rail and Air Canada.

Tuzzolino will lead sales activities throughout Quebec and will work in the Saint-Laurent offices.

Deana Murphy, vice president of retail, welcomed the news with enthusiasm.

"We are delighted to welcome Mr. Steven Tuzzolino to our team. We are confident that her valuable sales and travel industry experience will contribute to our continued success, "she said.

The addition of Tuzzolino to the Sunwing team comes at an exciting time for the tour operator. The company has just celebrated its second consecutive winter season at Mont-Joli Airport, increasing the number of departure airports in the province to six.

This winter, the tour operator has also added flight services to its program. New flight itineraries include Quebec to Puerto Vallarta and Miami, Val d'Or to Cancun, and Montreal to Miami and Mazatlan.

The tour operator has also announced an expansion of its seasonal flights services from Quebec this summer.
