ALG Vacations® Is Showing Their Appreciation for Travel Advisors—By Showing Up

The one thing we can rely on in travel is that our industry is perpetually in flux.

Being a travel advisor takes perseverance, and over the first half of this decade alone, advisors have proven their resilience. ALG Vacations® has stood behind them through it all—a reliable partner in uncertain times. This May, ALGV is at it again, focusing their annual Travel Advisor Appreciation Month efforts less on celebration, and more on support.

Given the current economic pressures advisors and their customers are facing, this year’s campaign is playing out a little differently, as ALGV moves beyond recognition to provide real solutions to the advisor community. Focusing on “showing up” to show their appreciation, they’ve invested in new promotions and revved up resources to drive demand, while still expressing their gratitude through meaningful giveaways.

Helping You Sell More

Just as advisors are feeling the crunch, so are travelers. Look for “aMAYzing” deals all month long on destinations worldwide to help you provide better value and close more sales, like:

  • Promo code savings up to $150 on domestic vacations and up to $250 on international and Hawaii bookings
  • Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights from just $229 roundtrip
  • $100 Premium Cabin air credit on major scheduled air carriers
  • Hotel savings up to 70%
  • Up to $1,500 in travel credit for contracted groups – the most ALGV has ever offered

ALG Vacations’ growing global portfolio makes finding the right trip for the right client even easier, and support options like quickly reaching your BDM or starting a chat or sending an email with a click let you get the answers you need just as fast.

Better yet, ALGV is throwing in their Best Price Guarantee—normally limited to reservations with Travel Protection Plus—at no cost with new FIT and GroupEase® international or Hawaii bookings! If you find a lower price on the same vacation, let them know and they’ll adjust the rate.

Find tools to help you market these and other deals and programs through the tour operator’s complimentary ALGV360° library. Social posts, videos, emails, and more are ready to download and use.

Helping You Earn More

Great offers for your customers should be backed by great benefits for you. Many advisors are already familiar with the advantages of ALGV’s Travel Protection Plus (TPP)—especially the Cancel for Any Reason Waiver. Now, protecting your client’s investment comes with one more perk: 20% compensation on TPP.

For bookings made with Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, Travel Impressions, Blue Sky Tours, or United Vacations® by 5/29/25 for travel 5/2/25 – 4/30/26, adding TPP with either cash-back or travel credit will earn you a 10% bonus on the plan premium.

Year-round, ALG Vacations offers competitive commissions on land, select air, transfers, and tours; WAVES® Rewards Points for reservations made in their VAX VacationAccess booking platform; plus, extra benefits for Elite travel agencies and WAVEMAKER® advisors.

Helping You Experience More

Nothing beats hands-on learning. So, ALGV is giving you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with their growing portfolio in the best possible way—with the chance to win one of more than 20 trips for two.

Each new booking you make between 5/2/25 and 5/29/25 for travel through 4/30/26 earns you at least one entry toward prizes like:

  • Global Giveaways to destinations like London, Mallorca, and Portugal, complete with a Viator excursion credit
  • Nonstop to Paradise escapes with Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights to favorite hotels and all-inclusive resorts across the Caribbean and Mexico
  • A grand prize Luxe vacation to Dubai featuring roundtrip air, stays at the InterContinental Dubai Marina and JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai, and a day package at Al Maha Desert Resort & Spa with a wildlife drive and afternoon tea

Other ways to win include weekly giveaways on social media and goodies-for-a-cause handed out at random in keeping with the brand’s Kindness Movement.

Advisors should note you must be an actively certified ALGVPro to qualify to win prizes. Courses are self-paced with bite-sized modules, and provide the foundation even seasoned advisors need to succeed in today’s challenging environment.

From giveaways with purpose to game-changing support, ALG Vacations is continuously working to deliver real value to travel advisors—and help you navigate a shifting market with confidence.
