Double the fun at YLW - BCgolfguide to Present at Kelowna Airport
Flyers will find double the booths and double the vacation giveaways at the third annual Hot Sun Event at Kelowna International Airport (YLW).
To kick off YLW’s winter flight schedule, the airport is hosting a free public event on Saturday October 29 between 12 and 4 p.m. for a chance to learn more about beach vacations, cruise holidays and tropical weddings.
Air carriers, hotels and resorts and travel operators will be on site and provide travel information and vacation deals for Mexico, Hawaii and the Caribbean.
Attendees will have also the chance to win an all-inclusive trip for two to Puerto Vallarta Mexico, courtesy of Nolitours/Transat Holidays; airfare to Cancun on Air Canada; one week stay at the all-inclusive at the Occidental Grand Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic; and a $200 travel voucher from Sunquest Vacations.
The public attending the event can get their name in the draws with a minimum five dollar donation. All funds collected will be provided to ShelterBox Canada, a national charity that responds instantly worldwide to natural and manmade disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need. Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and essential equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.
“When we host events like these at the airport and we give away vacation packages thanks to our airline partners, we want to be able to give back to a local or national charity” says Sam Samaddar, Airport Director. “It’s our goal at YLW to be able to purchase at least three boxes for ShelterBox Canada from the proceeds of this event.” Previous charities that have benefited from funds raised at airport events include HopeAir, and area foodbanks for Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country.
In addition, four vacation packages to Phoenix and Las Vegas from WestJet and WestJet Vacations and air package for two to Hawaii from Alaska Airlines will be drawn at the event from promotions held with Q103.1 and Castanet.
Parking is available in the long-term lot. Parking vouchers must be validated at the event for free parking.
