Ten Canadian creators will receive two fully funded all-inclusive travel experiences, exclusive creator perks and the chance to win a $10,000 grand prize while building their portfolios with one of Canada’s leading vacation providers.

TORONTO, July 2, 2026 /CNW/ – Sunwing Vacations is bringing back Canada’s Next Top Creators for a second season, offering Canadian content creators the opportunity to turn their passion for storytelling into the opportunity of a lifetime. This year, 10 selected creators will receive two fully funded all-inclusive travel experiences, creator training, exclusive perks and the chance to compete for a $10,000 grand prize.

“After an incredible response to our first season, we knew Canada’s Next Top Creators had to come back,” said Stephanie Ng, VP, Marketing at WestJet Group. “Season 1 showed us just how much creative talent exists across Canada, but what stood out most was the community that formed among our creators, supporting and encouraging one another throughout the journey. That sense of connection is something we want to carry forward into Season 2. This program goes beyond travel. It’s about giving creators a platform to share authentic stories, connect with audiences in meaningful ways and inspire Canadians through real experiences. We’re excited to support the next wave of Canadian storytellers as they continue to grow.”

At a time when AI is rapidly transforming the travel industry, from digital brand ambassadors to machine-generated content, Sunwing Vacations is taking a different approach by investing in real creators and real experiences. For the second consecutive year, the Canadian travel brand is investing in 10 Canadian creators, giving them the opportunity to experience and share the tropics through their own unique perspectives. This year, for the first time, the program has removed any follower cap, reflecting Sunwing’s belief that great storytelling is not defined by audience size, but by authenticity, creativity and the ability to inspire Canadians to dream about their next vacation.

Selected creators will travel to some of Sunwing Vacations’ most popular destinations across Mexico and the Caribbean while creating content for their own channels and Sunwing’s platforms. Each creator will receive two curated all-inclusive travel experiences, including excursions and private transfers courtesy of NexusTours, designed to help them sharpen their storytelling and expand their reach. Creators will also receive exclusive welcome kits featuring Sunwing swag and curated partner goodies, including products from Laneige.

“We’re proud to support this initiative by helping bring each creator’s travel experience to life on the ground,” said Alejandro Vazquez, Senior Director of Key Strategic Accounts at NexusTours. “Through curated excursions, we want to help creators capture authentic moments that showcase the culture, beauty and uniqueness of each destination in a meaningful way.”

Applications are open to Canadian residents aged 18 and older who are passionate about content creation, storytelling and travel. To enter, creators must create and publicly post a brand-new video on TikTok and/or Instagram showcasing why a Sunwing destination should be their audience’s next vacation, tag @SunwingVacations, use #SunwingCreators and submit their entry through the official application form on Sunwing.ca. Submissions close August 7, 2026, with winners announced in September.

Aily’s AI Decision Intelligence agents are now available in AWS Marketplace, with one-click procurement against existing AWS commitmentsOrchestrated by Aily’s Super Agent and powered by multiple foundation models, the agents are also available on Amazon BedrockExisting customers deploy in as little as one day inside their own AWS environment with governance, security, and compliance built inAily and AWS will jointly deploy and adopt agents to accelerate impact across the Fortune 500, focus verticals: pharma, CPG, and luxury

NEW YORK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aily Labs, creator of the first AI-native Decision Intelligence platform for global enterprises, today announced a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help enterprises deploy and scale Aily’s agents on AWS Marketplace, spanning five core functions across finance, supply chain, manufacturing, R&D, and commercial.

The partnership pairs AWS’s trusted cloud infrastructure with Aily’s AI Decision Intelligence platform, giving enterprises a direct path to measurable impact where decisions are made, executed, and measured across the business. Grounded in each enterprise’s own business context, Aily’s agents connect decisions across functions and act in real time, returning decision-grade recommendations while self-monitoring performance, simulating what-if scenarios, and surfacing risks and opportunities across critical functions. Through Amazon Bedrock, Aily draws on a choice of leading foundation models and orchestrates them dynamically, routing each decision to the model best suited to the task. This multi-model orchestration lets agents reason across complex business scenarios with greater accuracy and speed, all within the customer’s secure AWS environment.

With Aily’s agents now available as a managed subscription on AWS Marketplace, enterprises gain a simplified procurement path to the full Aily agent platform, with consolidated billing through their existing AWS account and usage that counts toward any committed-spend agreement. For current AWS customers, Aily deploys inside their own AWS environment in as little as one day, running on the customer’s existing data infrastructure and security stack, with no new environments or compliance reviews required.

“Enterprises don’t need more pilots or reports, they need decisions,” said Bianca Anghelina, Founder and CEO of Aily Labs. “Bringing Aily’s agents to AWS Marketplace gives global enterprises an AI operating system they can run at scale, on infrastructure they already trust. That’s how we build the agentic enterprise, together.”

Aily and AWS will jointly deploy and adopt agents tailored to pharma, CPG, and luxury enterprises, accelerating impact across the Fortune 500. Organizations ready to put AI Decision Intelligence to work can access Aily’s agents today in AWS Marketplace at https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-x5qobedt7bpze?.

Aily Labs is transforming how global enterprises make decisions by combining enterprise data with AI, machine learning, and large language models into a single Decision Intelligence platform. Its Super Agent orchestrates autonomous AI agents that both recommend and execute decisions, delivering measurable ROI from day one. The platform integrates into existing enterprise workflows, helping Fortune 500 companies break down data silos and accelerate decision-making across every major function.

Founded in 2020, Aily Labs operates globally with teams of AI data scientists, engineers, business and product experts.
