ALG Vacations Launches New Group Customization Technology

ALG Vacations® (ALGV) is excited to introduce its brand-new technology which allows travel advisors to customize and manage group bookings like never before.

Now available for contracted groups in addition to GroupEase®, our enhanced technology allows advisors to build their own custom event page in minutes, tailored to a specific group of any size directly on a dedicated one-page website. No waiting—you can easily build the page yourself in just minutes with our new automation, template and tools.

Not only will travel advisors find ease in a tool that lets them customize and manage each group’s details, but the refreshed modern design and enhanced technology benefit advisors (and clients) in other important ways:  

• Clients can independently book directly on the page and secure their spot at their convenience. You’ll receive automated email notifications of new bookings plus access to the groups’ bookings in the VAX Groups Dashboard. 
• Every booking made through the custom event page counts as one closed by you for commissions, ALGV loyalty status, rewards and more. 
• Enjoy increased profitability and protection with features that allow you to add your agency’s terms and fees.
• The new Meet Your Travel Advisor section allows you to add your agency logo, information and messaging.
• Sharing trip information and details on the group’s dedicated hub eases the advisor’s and group leader’s burden of ongoing back-and-forth communication.  

More new content features available to add to the page include event schedules and external links to wedding registry pages or your agency’s website. Pages can include a schedule with up to six events for the gathering, complete with event names, dates/times, locations and more. Choose from ALGV’s library of existing images or submit a custom image.

“When we dedicate time and investment to technology upgrades, we ask our travel advisor network for their list of priorities,” said Jacki Marks, Global Head of Trade Brands. “Customized event pages for groups of any size were at the top of many lists. But we took it a step further to also provide advisors with additional tools to protect and manage the group's profitability,” she added.
