ALG Vacations Launches ALGVPro

ALG Vacations announced its new travel advisor specialist program, ALGVPro. This program consists of five interactive Certification modules, which must be successfully completed to be certified as an ALGVPro and earn Travel Institute continuing education unit (CEU) credits, as well as Electives you can enroll in to earn additional CEU credits.

Advisors can choose from ALGV’s Recommended path, starting with the Basic curriculum and working their way up to the Advanced, or test out of the fundamentals by enrolling in the Accelerated path. Between Certification modules and Electives, advisors will learn about ALGV overall and what sets its brands apart; how to use VAX VacationAccess to maximum efficiency; ways to manage group bookings; the latest details on ALGV policies, programs, marketing platforms and advisor advantages; and more. 

In addition to its educational benefits, becoming an ALGVPro will pay off with:

• 5,000 WAVES^® points for the first 500 advisors who complete all five ALGVPro Certification modules.
• Quarterly incentives for completing a new module—including drawings for three hotel stays, five sets of Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flight (ENVF) seats, and a United Airlines^® amenity voucher.
• Up to five Travel Institute CEU credits – three credits for completing the Certification curriculum and two more when completing the Elective courses.
• One reduced-rate air seat on any ENVF booked 30 – 60 days in advance of departure at the 30- to 0-day fare, as part of ALGV’s Discounted Agent Vacation (DAV) program.

“We’re thrilled to get this travel advisor specialist program off the ground and arm advisors with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in today’s competitive travel environment,” said Jacki Marks, Executive Vice President, Trade Brands. “Becoming an ALGVPro will make travel advisors’ jobs easier as they learn new tips and efficiencies to accelerate their path to profitability and get on the fast track to success.”
