TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Often called Blue Monday, the third Monday of January is widely considered to be one of the saddest days of the year: when you consider the combination of frigid temperatures, little sunlight, and failing New Year’s Resolutions it’s easy to see why. Just launched today, Sunwing’s Blue Monday Buster Sale is offering Canadians a chance to bust out of the winter blues and get into the tropical sun with incredible savings of up to 60% on all inclusive vacation packages to top-rated resorts across the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. What’s more even just booking their ideal vacation could be an automatic happiness booster.

In a recent survey commissioned by Sunwing, it was discovered that 95% of Canadian vacationers agree that just knowing that a vacation is upcoming brings them joy, and 70% of vacationers said they feel more motivated at work if they know they have a vacation to look forward to – creating a ‘Holiday Halo effect’.

Canadians looking to put the theory to test can browse from a wide selection of top-rated resorts during the Blue Monday Sale. Families can enjoy unlimited splashes and exciting thrills as they zoom down waterslides at Memories Splash Punta Cana, home to the Caribbean’s largest on site water park and winner of 2017 TripAdvisor ® Travelers’ Choice Award. Plus, parents will appreciate exclusive perks such as Kids Stay, Play, and Eat FREE deals at this picturesque resort. 

Couples can take advantage of exclusive benefits such as discounted spa treatments, unlimited à la carte dining and more at El Dorado Sensimar Seaside Suites, a top-rated adults only property in Riviera Maya named one of Forbes’ Most Romantic Resorts in the World that offers a Gourmet Inclusive® Experience featuring dishes created with home-grown vegetables and herbs along with premium spirits and tastings.

Travellers looking to elevate their vacation experience and enjoy some pampering can easily brighten their day with a stay at Royalton Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba, a popular adults only resort rated as TripAdvisor’s® #1 All Inclusive resort in Cayo Santa Maria. Catering to all types of travellers, this resort boasts access to plenty of nearby watersports such as windsurfing and snorkelling, as well as perfect spots for relaxing such as the picturesque white-sand beach.

All Sunwing packages include return flights on Sunwing Airlines where passengers can sit back and relax while on board, and enjoy a welcoming sparkling wine toast, complimentary non-alcoholic beverage service and buy on board selection of light meals and snacks, including menu choices inspired by Food Network Canada Celebrity Chef, Lynn Crawford.
