"We are thrilled that Sunwing Vacations will be offering this new service from Vancouver to Montego Bay and excited to share news of this convenient travel option with Vancouverites." said Philip Rose, the Jamaica Tourist Board’s regional director in Canada.

For those in Vancouver who just can’t wait to get to Montego Bay with Sunwing, the Jamaica Tourist Board will help Vancouverites to get a taste of their Jamaica vacation through a colourful and interactive Feel the Vibe Jamaica Pop Up Shop in Vancouver’s Yaletown neighbourhood this weekend. Until Sunday, November 19, the shop at 1263 Homer Street will be transformed into a mini-Jamaica, complete with a “beach” area for lounging. The shop will be open from 4:00 PM to 12:00 midnight every day, with extended hours on Saturday evening to 2:00 AM Sunday morning

"The Jamaica Pop Up Shop will allow guests to Feel the Vibe of our island and fall in love with the destination before booking their vacation." Rose added.

Although Sunwing Vacations already offers vacation packages to Jamaica from Vancouver, this new direct flight will make it much easier for British Columbians to get to this beautiful island of contrasts.
