With Encore and rouge on the way,
WestJet, AC post robust 2012 results

eventful year after a robust 2012.
WestJet, which launches regional carrier Encore later this year, posted its
31st consecutive quarter of profitability
to close out 2012 with fourth quarter
net earnings of $60.9 million and fullyear net earnings of $242.4 million, up
significantly from the net earnings of
$148.7 million reported for 2011.

Air Canada rouge this year, posted a
net profit of $131 million for the year
compared to a net loss of $249 million
in 2011.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, Air
Canada reported net income of $8 million compared to a net loss of $60 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
According to Calin Rovinescu,
President and Chief Executive Officer, “these results reflect the success of
Air Canada’s ongoing transformation
aligned with strict cost control and
disciplined capacity management. In
particular, the strong revenue performance of our international network
was led by significant improvements,
not only in the Pacific region but also
on the Atlantic where we overcame
challenges faced by the industry earlier in the year.”
According to WestJet President
and CEO Gregg Saretsky “we are very
pleased with the positive momentum
generated in 2012 that culminated with
us reporting record annual earnings, record high load factors and for the second consecutive quarter, we surpassed
our return on invested capital target of
12% by achieving 13.7%.
“Our positive momentum continues into 2013 as we launch WestJet
Encore, add to and evolve our airline partnerships and enhance value
to more business and leisure guests.
Our introduction of fare bundles and
WestJet Plus will include options for
more comfort, convenience and flexibility to our guests.”

Air Canada, WestJet
report record January
load factors
MONTREAL — Planes continue to
be full for both Air Canada and WestJet as both posted record load factors
for January.
Air Canada reported a record system load factor of 79.4% versus 79.1%
in January 2012, an increase of 0.3 percentage points. System traffic increased
0.3% on a system-wide capacity decrease of 0.1%. Air Canada reports
traffic results on a system-wide basis,
including regional airlines from which
Air Canada purchases capacity.
The result was led by traffic increases in the Atlantic and domestic Canada markets of 3% and 2.1% per cent,
respectively.
WestJet posted a record load factor
of 80.9%. Revenue passenger miles
(RPMs), or traffic, increased 7.7%
year over year, and capacity, measured
in available seat miles (ASMs), grew
6.4% over the same period. The airline
flew 1.5 million guests in January, a
year-over-year increase of 6.4% or approximately 87,500 additional guests.
“Positive momentum continues
into 2013 as January marks our seventh consecutive monthly load factor
record,” stated WestJet President and
CEO Gregg Saretsky. “Our forward
bookings remain strong.”
FunSun introduces

TORONTO — FunSun Vacations

greater flexibility.
Following a successful soft launch
with Thomas Cook Canada’s internal retail network, FSV packages are

Sirev, and will be opened up in Galileo,
Amadeus and B2C sites last week.
“By leveraging our unrivalled airline

advantage of the ITC market through
a different, more innovative approach,”
said Dean Moore, CEO, Thomas Cook
North America, parent company to
FSV. “It brings more flexible alternatives and dynamic pricing to the traditional vacation package market under
the FunSun Vacations brand.”
FSV packages stand out from other
package providers in a number of very
significant ways, he said:

Grande Riviera Beach
& Villa Golf Resort
I recently spent a week at Sandals Grande Riviera
in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Though travelling from
Vancouver, BC, the travails of a day proved to be
more than worth it. I strongly recommend this resort
both as a honeymoon trip and a romantic rekindling
of one’s spirit. This resort is extensive and very well
kept, with astounding foliage and 15 restaurants, I
could easily live there for the rest of my life!
The staff is amazing—with their courtesy, attention
to detail, and their seemingly boundless willingness
to go above and beyond to ensure their guests are
happy. They even arranged for a surprise birthday
cake to be delivered to our villa the next morning.
(They had noted it on my ID at check-in.) Courtesy,
elegance and genuine friendliness are hallmarks of
the 850 staff members at Sandals Grande Riviera!
Highlights of our stay included the meals, the
incredible free show at the Amphitheatre and the
Chocolate Buffet night. There are dozens of other
activities including the swim-up bar, the ocean-going
pedal cycles and trips in the glass bottom boat. While
our villa neighbours next door were delighted with
the diving instruction and snorkelling opportunities,
my companion and I played several rounds of golf at
the nearby 18-hole course.
Best of all? Drinking that famous Blue Mountain coffee
while sunning at our private villa pool. Thank you
Sandals Grande Riviera for the best vacation of my life.

through Sunquest. In fact, of the 178
routes that FSV offers, 130 are new
and include all of the key destinations
in the U.S., along with the Caribbean
and Mexico, with the intention to
add more destinations in the coming
months,” said Moore.
t $IPJDF PG NBOZ EJĊFSFOU EVSBtions: Research shows that customers
are looking for increased flexibility
in their vacation choices and the new
FSV packages feature 3-, 4-, 5-, 7-, 10or 14-night durations, depending on
the destination. In addition to this, almost any duration — from as little as
one-night to multiple weeks, and more
— can be easily booked; “50% of FSV
product is for routes and durations
that no other tour operator offers, and
we can offer any duration, from onenight up to whatever the agent/client
wants, provided there’s availability,”
said Moore.

carriers: All packages feature flights on
scheduled airlines, including Canada’s
two premier carriers, WestJet and Air
Canada, and a selection of leading
U.S. carriers. When agents search for
an FSV package, the initial return will
show the cheapest, most direct flight
but there will be a choice of up to 16
alternatives available, offering the ability to customize the package by carrier
and/or flight time; “while WestJet is
the predominant choice of consumers
who have booked FSV packages todate, we have also sold packages with
flights on other scheduled airlines
such as Air Canada, Alaska Airlines,
American Airlines and United Airlines. What’s more, 24% of our bookings have included multi-leg flights,
with clients opting to take advantage
of the significant savings available by
going this route,” said Moore.

its contracts to access seat sales, bulk
fares and published fares to obtain the
lowest priced scheduled seat fare available the instant the customer wants to
book, and then combines it with the
customer’s hotel of choice to create a
customized vacation package. The result is that FSV can offer great prices
year round and is particularly competitive in the early and mid-booking
period (outside 45 days of departure).
“The vast majority of package holidays are sold via travel agents and this
initiative provides them with an even
broader spectrum of product to sell to
their customers,” said Moore.
Agents earn 8% commission on
every FSV package booking, in addition to earning full commission on the
surcharge (similar to sister-company
Sunquest) and 575 TC Loyalty Points
per room and 287 points per single.

Carnival Cruise lines
reports record
reservations; sets alltime high for number
of guests booked in a
single week
MIAMI — Carnival Cruise Lines set a
one-week reservations record, taking
gross bookings for 187,283 guests between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3, 2013.
Bookings were at unprecedented
levels across the line’s 24-ship fleet,
which operates three- to 18-day voyages from a wide range of North
American homeports as well as a
variety of European and Australian
itineraries.
Carnival President and CEO Gerry
Cahill attributed the record booking
activity to a number of factors, including continued recognition among
consumers of the exceptional value
provided by a Carnival cruise vacation, particularly given the line’s $500
million Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement initiative, strong support from
the cruise line’s travel agent partners,
as well as recent sales and marketing
activities.
The latter includes the Vacation
Awesome-ation sale and prize giveaway held last week, and a variety
of promotional activities surrounding the upcoming debut of Carnival

of 0.8%, representing passenger
growth of 1.2% for the month. Capacity grew by 4.7%, which resulted in a
load factor of 53.6%, a decline of 2.1
points from last year.
Figures for January show 116.9 million Available Seat Miles (ASMs) and
62.7 million Revenue Passenger Miles
(RPMs), compared to 111.6 million
ASMs and 62.2 million RPMs last year.
“These results are good for January, which is typically the slowest period of the entire calendar year,” said
Robert Deluce, president and CEO of
Porter Airlines. “Porter Escapes, our
new leisure vacation package division, is receiving an excellent response
from customers and is only beginning
to contribute to increased passenger
numbers as we expected. Ski trips to
Mont Tremblant, Vermont and the
Quebec City region are among the
most popular options at the moment.”
Royal Caribbean
introduces new
Project Sunshine
ships: Quantum and
Anthem of the Seas
MIAMI — Royal Caribbean International took a major step last week in
the development of the cruise line’s
next generation of cruise ships when
the first piece of steel was cut for the
first of two Project Sunshine ships.
The steel cutting took place at the
Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg,
Germany, where the two ships will
be built.
To celebrate the milestone, Royal
Caribbean announced the names of
the two new ships – Quantum of the
Seas, set to debut in fall 2014, and
Anthem of the Seas, which will follow
in spring 2015. They will be part of
the Quantum class of ships and will
build upon Royal Caribbean’s legacy
of revolutionary ship design.
“We are extremely excited to
celebrate this important milestone
for our first Project Sunshine ship.
After three years of design and
advance planning this is the first step
of the construction of the ship and
I look forward to seeing it all come
together in the coming months,” said
Adam Goldstein, President and CEO,
Royal Caribbean International. “The
new ship will be such a leap forward
in terms of vessel design and guest
experiences that we thought the name
Quantum of the Seas was perfectly
appropriate.”
Royal Caribbean International’s
legacy is built on introducing ‘at sea
firsts’ such as rock-climbing walls,
ice-skating rinks, surf simulators, zip
lines and even a tropical park with
over 12,000 live plants. The Quantum
class of ships will continue to build
on this legacy with unprecedented
experiences and amenities.
“Throughout our history we
have made huge strides in cruise
ship design and innovation and the
Quantum class will be no exception,”
said Richard D. Fain, Chairman and
CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd.
“We look forward to introducing
consumers to Quantum cruising.”

haven for Canadians

Amboise City, Loire Valley, France
CIT Tours’ new Europe itineraries
include visits to France, Italy and more
by Candice Abraham
CIT Tours’ new Europe itineraries for
2013 include Italy’s most charming
regions, France’s Loire Valley and a
chance to see the highlights of Britain,
Portugal, Spain or Croatia.
The new ‘South of France & Italy
Tour’ combines the highlights of Paris
with both the French and ItalianRiviera. During this 11-day journey,
travellers will explore charming hilltop towns and enjoy wine tasting in
Provence, discover Monaco and the
jewels of France’s Côte d’Azur before
continuing along the Italian Riviera
towards Santa Marguerita Ligure and
Cinque Terre. This tour is priced from
$4,299 per person.
The five-day ‘Devon & Cornwall’
Tour is perfect for those who wish to
explore the South West of England,
visiting ancient kingdoms and capitals, St. Michael’s Mount and England’s
most westerly point at Lands End. The
cost of this tour is $2,650 per person.
Both tours include accommodation
Spotlight_Travelforthe50.indd 13
in select hotels or B&Bs, daily breakfast, hotel taxes and service charges,
transportation by deluxe 16-seater
mini bus and services of experienced
multilingual tour guides.
With no more than 16 passengers
travelling together on each departure,
CIT Tours’ small group touring concept offers the best of both worlds,
with the convenience of an organized,
escorted tour coupled with the more
relaxed pace normally associated with
individual travel. There are no worries
about how to reach the next destination, about museum opening hours or
line-ups, early morning departures or
longer waiting times associated with
large groups getting organized. Travelling in a small group also means being
able to go behind the tourist façade and
visit places often inaccessible to larger
coaches, or stopping along the way for
that special photo-op on a whim.

of whitewashed houses. Following
a business class ferry ride, clients

they’ll enjoy three nights of golden
sunsets at either the Andromeda
or Pegasus hotel. Guests can spend
their last few days in Greece at one
of Santorini’s hilltop cafes or on one

final night, complete with local specialties and Greek entertainment.

skipper, this nine-day trip was designed with the independent traveller
in mind. Clients are free to do as they
please at the six destinations they stop
at along the Turkish Coast, but can
also choose from Contiki’s optional
ME Time add-ons as well, like with a
day trip to the Turkish mudbaths or a
night city tour of Marmaris. All meals
are included on this trip and guests are
free to use any of the on-board fishing
gear and snorkels as they sail along the
picturesque coast. Travellers can also
choose between twin-share private
cabins with en-suite bathrooms, or
sleep under the stars on comfortable
mattresses at deck level.
The ‘Croatian Island Cruising’ trip
is a 10-day journey to the picturesque
coastal towns and islands along the
Adriatic Sea. Starting and ending in
the seaside town of Split, clients will
also make their way to Makarska,
Trstenik, Dubrovnik, Korcula and
Hvar, all aboard a modern ‘A’ Class
boat with large decks. Breakfast is
served every morning and guests
are also treated to five lunches and
two dinners, but are encouraged to
explore their destinations and taste
the flavours of the country on their
own schedule and budget. When not
stretching out on deck and soaking
up the sun or enjoying a pint at a waterfront café, travellers are treated to
several Backstage Pass sightseeing inclusions, like a visit to the Old Town
in Korcula and a stop at Diocletian’s
Palace in Split. In their ME Time,
clients get total freedom to enjoy the
destination on their own or join one
of Contiki’s optional inclusions, such
as sea kayaking, a captain’s dinner in
Trstenik and a locally guided tour of
the walled city of Dubrovnik.
Young travellers will find their sea
legs on an island hopping adventure
with Contiki’s nine-day ‘Mykonos &
Island Cruising’ itinerary. Starting
and ending in Athens, guests on this
itinerary will also spend three nights
at Contiki’s Feature Hotel on Mykonos
and then set sail for Kusadasi in Turkey, Crete and Santorini. With plenty
of Backstage Pass inclusions, guests
will visit the local bazaar in Kusadasi,
see the famous windmills in Mykonos and visit Santorini’s main town
of Fira. When not cruising along the
waterways, travellers have plenty of
ME Time to mingle with the locals
at waterfront cafés or sip on cocktails
as the sun goes down. The ME Time
optionals on this trip will appeal to
history buffs as they can choose to do
either (or both) a tour of the classic
Greek archaeological site of Ephesus
in Kusadasi or a guided tour of the famous Acropolis in Athens.
To qualify for Contiki’s Early Payment Discount of 7.5%, travellers
must book and pay in full on or before

so it’s no surprise that many Quebeckers flock to her property.
The eco-lodge is part of the Small
Luxury Hotels of the World collection and represented in Canada by
Pro Hotel International Inc. The ecolodge features 22 spacious standard
and superior cabins crafted from native woods tucked away in the tropical
rainforest. Each cabin has a verandah
with a large hammock.
“Luxury is more how you feel,” said
Ochoa when explaining the atmosphere at the eco-lodge. The cabins are
well appointed with what one would
expect in a luxury lodge. Local Honduran coffee is provided in each cabin,
fresh linens, superior crafted furnishings, a restaurant showcasing Honduran and Meso-American cuisine and
views of the tropical jungle and relaxing pool area. Comfort clothing not
designer wear is the dress of choice
here especially since it can be quite
humid along with 35 degrees Celsius
temperatures.
Each cabin does have air-conditioning and ceiling fans.
The Lodge at Pico Bonito offers
many activities for guests and agents
can book these optional tours knowing their clients will be safe and experience a high standard. The guides are
well trained and only work with the
best local ground operators to offer a
true flavour of the country.
One of the most popular tours offered is a snorkelling trip to the nearby
islands of Cayos Cochinos. Guests can
snorkel on one of the 14 islands, have
a traditional Garifuna lunch, and even
go on a hike in search of the elusive
pink boa. White water rafting, visit
to the famous Copan Mayan ruins, a
boat trip to the Manatee preserve and
La Ceiba city tour are just some of the
different tours available.
There are also many hiking trails
guests can do on their own or with a
guide that are right on property as well
as a serpentarium, butterfly sanctuary

at the eco-lodge. Travellers get their
sun and sand on the islands and outdoor adventure and rainforest at the

The Sun Palace Cancun has a number of places where couples can relax.
Sun Palace Cancun
is a chic couples-only
property where you
can relax
By Ariane Cloutier
CANCUN — The chic Sun Palace
Cancun is a couples-only destination
that is a perfect place to relax.
Given a top ranking by TripAdvisor,
the Sun Palace was fifth out of 172
properties in Cancun.
The property draws an international
clientele. The daily schedule features a
few sports activities such as volleyball
in the pool or on the beach. At
the lobby bar at night, karaoke, a
Caribbean party and couples nights
were suggested. Even a fire show is
presented on the beach one night.
Individual beach beds right by the
ocean are set up with an umbrella and
servers take your order from the bar
and the grill all day long. Three infinity pools and a swim up bar make it
less crowded and give you the opportunity to also serve yourself and relax
under the sun.
The beach is a little rough but you
can still swim in the salty and refreshing water of the Caribbean Sea.
Accommodation features a double
Jacuzzi and nightly turndown service
and the modern design inspires serenity and romance. Looking through the
spacious glass door of your balcony is
reminiscent of being on a cruise ship
as we only see the magnificent view of
the clear turquoise waters.
The Diamond concierge service
provides clients with a 25 minute
massage per person, a private section
on the beach, a romantic dinner and
more. To see details of this concierge
service, visit palaceresorts.com/1500resort-credit-promotion-details,landingPages_viewItem_6-en.html?
A resort credit of up to $1,500 is
available for those booking before
March 31 for stays until Dec. 23,
2013. This credit is applicable mainly
towards room upgrades, excursions,
spa treatments, golf, Jack Nicklaus
School Academy, romantic dinners
and weddings.
If your clients want to escape the
hotel for dining in town, Mocambo,
a lobster and seafood restaurant, is
the place to go. The level of service
and quality of food were outstanding.
Open from noon to 11 p.m. and located close to the Riu Palace and CocoBongo club, it’s one of the only restaurants by the beach but not in a hotel.
In Mexico, seven hotels are part of
the Palace brand. The Beach Palace is
few minutes away from the Sun Palace
and, like the Moon Palace, is family
oriented. Another one is Playacar Palace further south in Playa del Carmen,
one is located on the island of Cozumel and finally another couples-only
is on Isla Mujeres.

Mexico to allow entry
of underage tourists
without notarized
letter of consent
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism, Claudia Ruiz
Massieu, and the Commissioner
of the National Institute of Migration (INM), Ardelio Vargas Fosado,
agreed to suspend a measure that
required minors (under 18 years
of age) travelling alone or accompanied by a third party of legal age
(grandparent, aunt/uncle, sibling, or
other), that stated the need to present a notarized letter of consent
from both parents or the minor’s
legal guardians or those with parental authority, duly legalized by the
Mexican Consulate or Embassy in
Canada and translated into Spanish.
In the aim of facilitating the travel of national and foreign tourists,
Mexican immigration authorities
will allow the entry to and departure
from Mexican territory of minors
travelling with at least one parent;
with the person who holds parental
authority; alone or accompanied by
an adult who does not hold parental
authority; with the presentation of
the minor’s valid passport.
The requirements established
by the Canadian government for
minors to enter and depart from
Canada, should be consulted at the
following webpage: travel.gc.ca/
travelling/children.
Secretary Ruiz Massieu and Com-
missioner Vargas agreed to temporarily suspend the measure contained
in the new National Migration Law
while a solution is found to fulfill
the requirement of the law without
installing roadblocks or excessive
paperwork to tourists intending to
travel to Mexico.
President Peña Nieto has promised
to create measures which bring efficiencies to the migration process for
national and international tourists.

World’s first A380
facility fully open for
business in Dubai
DUBAI — Emirates and Dubai Airports have announced the successful
completion of the phased launch of
Concourse A – the home of the A380
and the world’s first purpose-built facility for the aircraft at Dubai International.
All 20 A380 capable contact gates
and Emirates First Class and Business
Class lounges, which comprise 29,000
square metres of the facility, are now
fully operational after a five-weeklong phase-in period.
During the first month of operations
following its inaugural flight on Jan. 2,
2013, EK003 bound for Heathrow and
operating from one of the four contact
stands opened during Phase 1, Concourse A has handled 461,972 pieces
of luggage carried on over 2,450 flights
serving 589,234 passengers.
“The full opening of Concourse
A is a significant milestone and
achievement in supporting and
enabling the continued growth of
Emirates, and our focus and com-
mitment to being a leader in offering
our customers innovative products
and services that provides them with
an unsurpassed travel experience.
With a current fleet of 31 A380s and
a further 59 on order, Emirates is the
largest operator of this aircraft in the
world, and it is only fitting that we
have a world class facility that meets
this need and represents our leadership in this regard,” said Tim Clark,
President, Emirates Airline.
“Much like the opening of Terminal 3 in 2008, the phase in of Concourse A has resulted in the seamless introduction of world-class
infrastructure that responds to the
rapid growth of Emirates and caters
to the needs of its discerning and
truly global customer base,” said Paul
Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports. ”
Concourse A is part of the Terminal
3 complex built for the use of Emirates, from where its passengers can
travel to its network of 21 A380 destinations across Europe, North America, Australia and Asia.
With 11 floors and a total built-up
area of 528,000 sqm, Concourse A is
connected to Concourse B and Terminal 3 via an underground train. Unlike any other airport facility in the
world, the First Class and Business
Class lounges have dedicated floors
that offer direct and convenient access
to aircraft boarding gates. The lounges,
which extend the entire length of the
concourse, are the largest in the world
and offer customers’ fine dining with
showcase kitchens, conference rooms,
business centres, a Timeless Spa, entertainment zones, dedicated smoking
areas as well as children’s play areas.
The First Class lounge passengers also
have the added convenience of a dedicated duty free shopping area and a Le
Clos wine cellar.
