Sundance Vacations looked for the people that would know best what our core values should be. Those people are our employees. We gave them an opportunity to think up what they wanted our company core values should be. These are the ones that they came up with.

The word T-E-A-M-W-O-W-K at Sundance Vacations means more than just the standard definition for organized cooperation. TEAMWORK is actually the acronym for the company’s Core Values … Whether the company is asking its employees to (T)ranscend professionalism or (E)njoy recognition the list goes on for a total of 8 Core Values.
