BUILDING MOMENTUM
Booking travel should be simple, fast, and done with confidence. Pairing steep savings with ALGV’s award-winning booking engine, The Great Getaway Savings Event is designed to do just that.
Now through May 28 for travel until March 31, 2027, your clients can take advantage of:
- Up to $950 off vacation packages
- Up to $100 in air credit when booking premium cabin
- Up to $1,500 in credit for contracted groups, to spend on upgrades, excursions, and extras
- Expanded low deposits—from $350 per person—for long-haul destinations
Group bookings also benefit from ALG Vacations’ new Groups Quote Promise. If you find a lower rate, you’ll receive additional commission—even on the off-chance the price can’t be met. A Best Price Guarantee at the most popular resorts for groups layers on extra confidence.
We'll not only match hotel direct rates, including member-only pricing, but honor the rate for the full group stay and/or adjust pricing after contracting if a lower rate appears. This means you keep control of your group while we protect the price!
Eligible brands include RIU, AIC/Hard Rock, Royalton, Lomas, Melia, Karisma, Palladium, Ocean Signature Resorts, Hilton Cancun, Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe, Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya, Hilton Vallarta Riviera, and more, for the options they want that span across Mexico and the Caribbean.
EARNING ALONG THE WAY
But growing your sales wouldn’t be complete without enhancing your earning potential.
Each booking to Mexico, the Caribbean, or Hawaii made in May counts double toward 2027 Elite status, helping you lock in premium perks for next year.
In the now, advisors can earn bonus commission on popular advisor-recommended resorts: up to 6% for FIT and GroupEase® reservations (choose a Get Paid to Upgrade room category at a participating Hyatt Inclusive Collection resort for maximized earnings) or an extra $250 for groups.
HOW TO WIN
Every booking made by May 28 earns an entry toward ALG Vacations’ giveaways. Booking select destinations, prize properties, or spotlight inclusions such as Luxe by ALG Vacations® hotels offers opportunities to earn up to three extra entries.
Just don’t forget to finish or reactivate your ALGVPro certification to qualify.
SUPPORT THROUGH UNCERTAINTY
ALG Vacations is evolving right alongside traveler demand.
Following a significant portfolio expansion, adding over 150 new destinations, ALGV is supplementing growth with support for advisors looking to diversify. Case in point: the Premier Destinations Team, a dedicated resource for booking complex itineraries across Hawaii, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, and beyond.
Meanwhile, go-to tools like Travel Protection Plus—which lets clients cancel for any reason—help minimize hesitation while protecting your commission.
But the most exciting update for many will be the launch of the Advisor Portal. Available through ALGVacations.com, this new dashboard gives you clear insights into your business performance, empowering you to identify trends and pivot as needed.
