The best of travel in our words

No Vacancy with Glenn Haussman is perfect for road warriors, leisure travellers and industry insiders. Going behind the scenes of the business to share stories and experiences with interviews featuring the industry’s biggest names, we actually have a connection! Sunwing’s own Jurgen Stutz of Blue Diamond Resorts was interviewed last year to discuss the industry-shaking agreement with Marriott International in which more than 20 resorts joined Marriott’s esteemed collections.

Take a listen to hear how “Marriott and Sunwing Bet Big on All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels”.

Some French podcasts we love include Entretien Vagabonds' episode with journalist, Marie-Julie Gagon, Voyager seul, un défi ou un plaisir? ("Travelling solo, a challenge or a pleasure?"), as well as Bobtrotteur's "Mes aventures au Mexique" ("My adventures in Mexico") featuring an interview with Olivier Poulin. Part two of that interview with Guillaume sans destination from Jay Du Temple Discute is great, too!
