Every week until late October, the tour company will be releasing a new set of lists and content categories, including 17 brand-new lists for this year.

Plus, in honour of RIU September, a month-long partnership launching this week highlights the breadth of vacation possibilities with RIU Hotels & Resorts, four unique lists will be unveiled throughout the month highlighting RIU’s popular properties in tropical destinations

“The introduction of Sunwing’s annual ‘Best of the Best List’ three years ago has set the bar high for vacation inspiration, and we’re thrilled to introduce our 2024-25 list featuring the best vacations to the most sought-after destinations and resorts, designed to make the planning process an insightful, but fun, journey for travel advisors and our mutual customers while helping clients get the most value for their all inclusive vacations,” said Samantha Taylor, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer for Sunwing Vacations Group.

“We’re featuring the types of vacations we know advisors and their clients are searching for, including family getaways, romantic escapes and adults-only vacations, mixed with more tailored experiences from value-based options to luxury resorts and destinations known for delivering unparalleled experiences beyond the beachfront.

“What’s more, we’re incredibly excited to team up with one of our longstanding resort partners, RIU Hotels & Resorts, for RIU September, a weekly roundup of their top luxury resorts, value-oriented vacations, bucket-list experiences and exciting new resorts, which are all featured in this year’s ‘Best of the Best’ recommendations.
