Picture this: You're out to dinner when a friend mentions they've been dreaming of a trip to Hawaii. Or you're at an event when someone asks about family-friendly resorts. Travel conversations can happen anywhere, so why should vacation inspiration be limited to your desk?
Enter the newly redesigned Travelogue. Once a collection of digital flipbooks, Travelogue is now an interactive, web-based experience for Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, and Travel Impressions. The enhanced platform is designed for desktop and on-the-go browsing, putting resort details, destination inspiration, specialty collections, and more at your fingertips—making client-ready resources accessible wherever business takes you.
Ready to dive into the new Travelogue? Here's a closer look at its features and how you can put them to use.
Smarter Searches, Better Matches
Start by selecting the Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, or Travel Impressions logo on the home page to enter your preferred brand's Travelogue experience. Then, click “Explore All Resorts” to browse the portfolio. Whether you’re familiarizing yourself with the properties from the office or researching specific requests during a client meeting, the new search-and-filter function lets you narrow results by country, star rating, and more.
Next, consider the amenities that matter most to your customer, from preferred brands to amenities like adults-only accommodations, connecting rooms, and beach access. Specialty Collections, such as Luxe by ALG Vacations, Hyatt's Inclusive Collection, and Weddings offer another way to streamline results around their preferences.
Better yet, filters stack to deliver more targeted resort listings. Looking for RIU Hotels & Resorts in the Caribbean? Or a five-star, adults-only resort with swim-out suites in Mexico? By combining criteria, you can pinpoint hotels that match each client’s wish list.
Visual Inspiration for Every Getaway
With a shortlist of resorts in hand, it’s time to discover what sets each one apart. Opening a hotel profile reveals vivid imagery and videos that capture the property’s atmosphere, along with an amenities list, added values, and other details that paint a fuller picture of the resort experience. Now, advisors have everything they need to give customers a visual preview of their getaway at a moment’s notice.
The inspiration doesn't stop there. Newly added Destination Guides offer another way to introduce clients to new places—or experiences to pre-book. These downloadable PDFs feature everything from local currency and peak travel seasons to suggested hotels and five-day itineraries to spark fresh ideas.
Stay Connected with Shareable Content
The vacation planning doesn't have to end when the conversation does. Travelogue's sharing capabilities give your customers the flexibility to explore destinations and hotels at their own pace. To pass along a profile, click “Share” in the upper-right corner, and keep your recommendations top of mind.
Expand Your Toolkit
Travelogue isn't just for resort research. Advisors have convenient access to our “Programs and Resources” to enrich itineraries, anticipate client questions, and prepare your travelers for the journey ahead.
You and your clients can explore excursions through Amstar® DMC and Viator; learn how Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights and Travel Protection Plus add value to a trip; and even brush up on “Europe Travel Tips.”
The Bottom Line
Whether meeting with clients or striking up a spontaneous travel conversation, the redesigned Travelogue brings resort research, destination discovery, and shareable resources into one easy-to-use experience. Wherever inspiration strikes, you'll be ready to turn curiosity into opportunity.
