Carson Kressley Returns as ALG Vacations’ Travel Advisor Champion for 2026

ALG Vacations announced today that TV personality Carson Kressley will continue his work as the tour operator’s travel advisor champion for 2026.

Since 2024, the Emmy-winning TV host, entrepreneur, and lifestyle expert has been helping ALGV promote the benefits of using a travel advisor. Past marketing efforts have included a billboard in Times Square and TV appearances to plug Travel Advisors Get You There, ALGV’s consumer-facing website that was created to champion the advisor community.

“We’re thrilled to see Carson return as our Travel Advisor Champion in 2026,” said Jacki Marks, global head of trade sales & engagement at ALG Vacations. “Carson’s reach and entertaining style help us elevate the advisor story, while his success in building a standout personal brand reinforces how valuable expertise and authenticity are—both for travelers and for the advisor community.”

In his role as travel advisor champion, Kressley will participate in ALGV’s signature events throughout the year. His first official engagement of 2026 was the recent Jamaica Voluntourism FAM, which Travel Market Report attended.

Kressley will also appear at key industry events, like the ASTA Travel Advisor Conference, and will continue to leverage his social media presence to champion the advisory industry with series like “Carson Curates” and “Carson Checks In.”

“I’m so happy to continue this partnership with ALG Vacations and advocate for travel advisors,” said Kressley. “ALGV aligns with my values in so many ways, and I love supporting this exceptionally talented community while helping more travelers understand just how impactful working with an advisor can be.”
