ALG Vacations® (ALGV) has announced its ALGV Elite travel agencies for 2022. This honor is bestowed upon 710 travel agencies nationwide, based on overall ALGV net sales production for passengers traveled in 2021. In previous years, top producing agencies were rewarded based on individual ALGV brand production (Apple Vacations – Preferred Partners; Funjet Vacations, United Vacations, Blue Sky Tours, and Southwest Vacations – 500 Club; and Travel Impressions – Best of the Best).
The new ALGV Elite program makes it easier for agencies to earn top account status and the benefits that come with that honor. ALGV’s Elite 2022 program consists of several distinct tiers—Sapphire / Sapphire Select, Emerald, and Diamond / Diamond Preferred—each offering an array of exclusive benefits. To qualify as an Elite account, agencies must have reached a minimum of $400k in net sales for passengers traveling with ALGV in 2021. To reach the highest levels of Diamond/Diamond Preferred, net sales must amount to $1.6M or more.
Elite agencies receive a variety of benefits that increase for each Elite level reached. Perks include complimentary airline seats, hotel nights, or WAVES® points redeemable for travel and other rewards; access to an exclusive Elite support desk; exclusive promo codes; a marketing toolkit to help agencies spread the word about their achievement; and, for Sapphire Select levels and above, an invitation to an international ALGV Elite recognition trip.
“The new ALGV Elite has been met with praise by travel agencies who appreciate the change to an overall ALGV rewards program,” said Jim Tedesco, ALGV’s Vice President of Sales. “Knowledgeable travel advisors realize the importance of matching individual clients to the specific ALGV brand that best suits their needs and preferences. The ALGV Elite program makes it easier for them to do just that and still reach top account status. With all that our retail partners been through in the past two years, we’re thrilled to reward them for their efforts and resilience,” he added.
ALG Vacations will soon be announcing details of their 2023 ALGV Elite program, based on 2022 net sales production for passengers traveled. Agencies that are striving toward reaching ALGV Elite status in 2023 are encouraged to contact their BDM.
