In travel, there’s no new year that starts slow – this industry comes hot out the gate as soon as the clock strikes 12 as we jump right into peak season, the busiest travel period of every year. And with no time to get your bearings, there’s no more critical time for travel advisors to make sure that they’re partnered with the right organizations to start their fiscal year strong.
That’s why so many travel advisors across North America trust ALG Vacations® brands to get those early bookings closed, because while the holiday season is over, they’re known for continuously delivering the goods year round. With over 55 years of chronological experience – hundreds, collectively across the six advisor brands – and ever-evolving travel advisor tools and resources plus vacation package options, including Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights (ENVFs), ALGV is a clear choice for the majority of experienced peak season veterans.
While some agencies prefer to book Apple Vacations for their families and grandfathered-in loyalists; Travel Impressions for their luxury clients; Funjet Vacations for their active travelers; Blue Sky Tours for far-flung beaches; or United Vacations or Southwest Vacations for airline loyalists; many pick and choose between brands using the single sign-on VAX VacationAccess platform. This convenient technology is simply one of the many ways ALGV has invested in making booking more efficient as they listen to advisor feedback and action their suggestions. For instance, in 2024, they launched the Click or Chat to Call feature on ALGVacations.com; introduced inventory auto-drops and custom event pages for groups; created Destination Europe Guides as suggested by travel advisors; and released ALGVPro education and development courses designed around current travel trends.
This dialed-in attention to the needs of travel advisors has always been a tenet of the majority of their brands – two of which are advisor-only and not available to consumers. However, ALGV has more than doubled down on their travel advisor commitment over the past few years, launching consumer campaigns that highlight the many advantages of having a professional handle their vacation planning. For instance, Travel Advisors Get You There has been ALGV’s key public message over the past year, with celebrity endorsements such as Carson Kressley drawing even more attention to the importance of working with a travel advisor.
Plus, it’s only through ALGV that convenient, cost-effective, beach time-maximizing Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights and ENVF packages are available. With these flight options, folks are able to get to their destination faster and without interruption and spend more time in destination with optimally scheduled routes. Plus, contracted groups can hold seats and travel together to the destination wedding, family reunion, corporate retreat, or whatever event they’re about to enjoy in popular destinations such as Cancun as well as new routes such as RFD to LIR, which was introduced by advisor request.
But travelers across nearly two dozen gateways aren’t the only ones who win when an ALGV ENVF is the flight of choice. Travel advisors receive opportunities to earn free seats for themselves, and up to 15% commission, in an era where commission on air is no longer common.
All of that with award-winning sales, service, and technology explains without a doubt why ALG Vacations® brands are perennial favorites for Peak Season partners. With all of their resources and support in your pocket, you’ll be undeniably primed for peak. ALGV looks forward to Giving You More this year and beyond.
