Born in Versailles, France, Alan grew up from three weeks onwards in and around South West London.
He attended the Roche Primary School, St. Osmond’s and Kingston Grammar School until age fifteen when he realised that although he loved many aspects of school, he would be better placed to pursue his dream of becoming a professional sports instructor if he moved to the mountains.
So, aged fifteen he moved to Whistler, Canada on his own for three months. During this time, he became the youngest ever (at the time) CASI 1 snowboard instructor to gain certification in British Columbia.
He went on, over the next four years, to pass his Stonebridge Academy of Lawn Tennis Coach B and subsequently Coach A licenses. Also his CSIA 1 Alpine Ski Instructor, CASI 2 Snowboard Instructor and BASI 3 Alpine Ski Instructor courses in various resorts worldwide including Whistler, Canada and Courchevel, France. He has trained through the ISIA courses with both BASI and the CSIA and has taken his CASI level 3 training also.
Due to his teaching experience and qualifications he was also awarded an exemption from the LTA Tennis Assistant Course in 2005. He is first aid trained by both St. Johns Ambulance and BASP (British Association of Ski Patrollers).
From age ten onwards his entrepreneurial parents helped and encouraged him to attend many business management courses which helped nurture the necessary confidence and skills to complement a deep enthusiasm which he held for organising challenging and pioneering ventures.
Alan founded Sunshine World on 3rd August 2005 with the aim of creating a tool that people can use to help create some of the most wonderful moments of their lives!
Since then Sunshine World has successfully delivered holidays to over 1,600 very happy guests and ten international journalists and our return guest and referral rate is at over 63%!
If you would like to speak to him any time, he is always willing to give his time to anyone interested in focusing on the positive things in life! His personal mobile number is 07830 138 798. That is how open Sunshine World is as a business :)

Endorsements of Alan Garcia from
“I met Alan while writing an article for the Independent about skiing in Poland and can wholeheartedly recommend him as both a businessman and an individual. Simply put, he's a great bloke with a great product - generous with his time and attention, keen to make sure everyone sampling his product is having a great time, straightforward, honest and hardworking. Oh, and he knows how to party, too! What's not to like?”
Ross Young, Producer / Director, Freelance (was with another company when working with Alan at Sunshine World LTD)
“If you are after a tailored made holiday at a package price look no further than Sunshine World. Afterall your holidays are supposed to be the time when you shouldn't have to worry. Alan Garcia is "the man"!!”
Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value
