| MOST SUNQUEST CANCUN PASSENGERS BACK IN CANADA |
|
Other Destinations Selling Out Fast
As more details start to become available on the extent of damage caused by Hurricane Wilma to the Cancun area hotels and infrastructure, Sunquest wants to assure its agents and passengers that it fully expects most of the area to be up and running on time for the winter travel season. With travel to Cancun on hold for the next little while, Sunquest has experienced a surge in bookings to many of its other sun destinations over the past few days and rooms are going fast. In the meantime, Sunquest has made a number of changes to its Fall flying schedule, including cancelling all Cancun flights until mid-November, at which point Sunquest will offer limited service out of Toronto (Nov. 12 onwards), Vancouver (Nov. 11 onwards), Edmonton and Calgary (Nov.13 onwards). Full service to Cancun from all gateways is scheduled to resume in December.

| ORLANDO - SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN |
| Laurie Carter |
 |
| Orlando Team | "If you haven't been to Orlando in the last five years, you've missed a lot," said Nancy Hahn Bono, Vice-President of Travel Marketing for the Orlando CVB, at a Toronto press gathering at Brassaii Bistro Lounge yesterday. That was the message she and her team of Orlando attraction, hotel/resort and airline reps also brought to agents and tour operators in a two-day blitz of Montreal and Toronto. Bono was very happy with the response from travel professionals, saying they realize that, despite Florida's
 |
| Randy Anger With Shamu | reputation in the trade as a drive-only destination, there are terrific sales opportunities in the Sunshine State. Even the legions of Canadians who have previously visited Orlando are coming back. "Canadians are great travellers," Bono observed. "They like to try different things and then they come back." And presentations by reps from SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World Resorts reinforced the message that visitors - first-timers and repeat - will find plenty of changes in Orlando.
