As temperatures drop heading into winter, some Manitobans fly south.
Manager of Canada One Travel in Steinbach Mary Jane Hiebert says typically people in Manitoba take warm winter vacations from December to April to give themselves a break from the cold.
Hiebert suggests people do homework on different get-away vacation spots, ask questions and book when you find the right product for the right price. However she adds it's always best to book early to avoid disappointment of something not being available anymore.
As for the popular hot spot locations, Hiebert explains anything direct is always popular.
“Mexico is still popular, the Dominican. What's new out of Winnipeg this year is Ixtapa, Mexico because I think it's been about 20 years since we've been able to go there direct out of Winnipeg.”
She adds Jamaica and Cuba are also popular noting Cuba is in close proximity to Florida and tends to have the same weather patterns so a guaranteed heat is not always going to be the case however it's still a great destination.
When asked about Europe vacations Hiebert says Europe is fantastic but people tend to take those trips between April and November when the weather is warmer since their climate more closely resembles Canada's.
On a separate note, Hiebert says Canada One Travel purchased Holiday Travel during the summer so they are now operating under a new name. She adds although different signage, the staff and location are still the same. Hiebert notes it's going great and she's enjoying the change.
