Following a year of profitable growth, Sunwing Travel Group has been honoured with a position on the list of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT Magazine for the 9th consecutive year. The Sunwing Travel Group is the 3rd largest company by revenue to make the list, and holds position #302 this year with a 179% increase in sales volume. The Sunwing Travel Group is the only airline and tour operator on the PROFIT 500 index, which is published in the Summer issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com.

Much of the continued success of the Sunwing Travel Group can be attributed to the innovative vision and entrepreneurial spirit that the company has maintained from inception until today, as a business with 1,776 employees and sales in excess of $1 Billion. “We are very proud to have achieved profitability by delivering value and choice to our customers on the types of travel experiences they are looking for,” said Stephen Hunter, President and CEO of Sunwing Travel Group, adding “our inclusion on this list is a testament to the efforts of our employees and the support of our retail travel partners.”
