Earlier this week, tour company Transat, which uses different air carriers, decided to cancel Skyservice flights out of Winnipeg to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, and WestJet flights to Santa Clara, Cuba. One industry veteran estimated 1,000 seats to Mexico, Dominican Republic and Cuba have been eliminated this winter. [Michelle Rowan] said there was an overabundance of seats out of Winnipeg to tropical destinations this year, which she attributed to "beautiful weather" the last couple of weeks and consumers waiting for last-minute deals. I think people will be thrilled with WestJet offering flights, especially to Mazatlan. That's a favourite spot for people who go for long stays," she said, noting some hot spots, such as Huatulco, Mexico, are sold out from Christmas through February.
At first, all-inclusive was limited to local brand drinks and one buffet restaurant," [Pat Rachey] said. But, "hotel chains such as Karisma in the Mayan Riviera and Dreams in Mexico and the Dominican Republic are changing all that, so the average traveller can experience the finer things and feel really pampered on vacation, without breaking the bank. "Besides the weather," said Rachey, "the appeal is the two quaint towns of La Crucecita and Santa Cruz, 10 minutes from the resort by taxi. There you will find small restaurants, bars and inexpensive shopping The grand prize winners will get round-trip airfare to the Mayan Riviera, where they'll stay for a week at Karisma's five-star, all-inclusive El Dorado spa resort, a Signature Vacations destination located about a half hour south of...

Flowers are really the basics for all women's fragrances," says Veronique Ferval, creative centre manager for International Flavours & Fragrances in New York, one of the primary manufacturing sources of the extracts or "juices" that perfumers use. Sometimes it takes consumers time to warm up to a more exotic flower, says IFF's Ferval, but even if the exposure only comes from a perfume bottle, people can develop a taste for it over time:

The winner just might pick our Golf Trip to the Ocean Sand Golf and Beach Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Like the other possible destination -- the Party Trip (Mazatlan), the Romance/Gourmet Trip (in the Mayan Riviera south of Cancun) the Adventure Trip (also the Mayan) or the Kids Holiday in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, all include airfare and seven nights all inclusive accommodation.

With that in mind, the winner of this year's Great Winter Escape contest gets to choose one of five of the most popular trips from Winnipeg on direct flights. Each "escape'' is themed around what's important to you on your vacation. Mazatlan is a city and a resort area all in one," [Winnipegger Pat Rachey] says. "It has hundreds of kilometres of golden sand beach and is known for its deep-sea fishing, surfing, shopping and night life. Its weather is ideal for golfing, as it doesn't get as hot during the day as some of the other Mexican resort areas.'' "After you watch the sunset from your balcony at the El Cid Resort, you can head out to some of the best nightclubs in Mexico,'' Rachey says. "With your sunparties.com Party Pass, you won't have to pay the $40 cover fee or wait in line. D...

One would almost think hurricanes possess a mean spirit, targeting the people who already suffer from malnutrition, economic poverty and political instability. It seems that Haiti gets hit with a major hurricane every year, and storm watchers can almost count on the fact that a hurricane will cross Cuba, The Dominican and Florida or Louisiana as well. Driving in European cities can be an adventure. Roundabouts, honking horns and scooters that zig-zag through traffic are all commonplace, so you need to be sure you can handle the stress that comes with a driving environment to which you may be unaccustomed. Outside the cities, other than in England -- where you must add driving on the left to your concentration -- getting around is relatively easy and similar to here. However, many of ...

For the third straight year, we've been fortunate enough to host a group of winter-weary sun-seekers. After exploring both the eastern and western Caribbean in week-long cruises, this year's journey is a nine-day affair into the exotic south. DAY 3 -- Our first port of call is Samana, Dominican Republic. Known for its lush, green mountains, the stop is somewhat controversial. That's because the poverty is readily apparent upon leaving the ship, which doesn't sit well with some cruisers we later speak with. We're hooked on cruising. It's the perfect trip for people who want paradise but don't want to stay grounded in the same place for a full week, as you do in an all-inclusive.
... Start with a tropical setting and perfect weather. Add some elegant dining and great entertainment. ...
