Having your own personal space—particularly on vacation—has never been a higher priority than in today’s COVID-conscious environment. ALG Vacations™ (ALGV) has an answer to that, with the launch of Villas by ALG Vacations™.
This new product line, powered by Villas of Distinction, a longtime partner of their Travel Impressions brand, is now available for travel advisors to book across all of their B2B brands. This includes, in addition to Travel Impressions, Apple Vacations, Funjet Vacations, Blue Sky Tours, Southwest Vacations, and United Vacations.
Offering over 2,500 villas in more than 50 destinations around the world (listed below), as well as an enhanced domestic portfolio for those who are more comfortable staying close to home right now, this collection is comprised of carefully vetted, professionally managed properties in a vast range of bedroom configurations to suit any group—large or small.
Vacationers can choose grand homes just minutes from Orlando’s theme parks; luxury high-rise lodgings in New York City or Las Vegas; ski and mountain lodges in the American West; beach homes on tropical shorefronts in Miami, Mexico, and the Caribbean; or calm, tony areas like the Hamptons and Hilton Head. That’s on top of castles, palazzos, estates, and chalets in European countrysides, in-town apartments in classic European cities, jungle estates in Costa Rica, mansions in Bali, and wine country residences in South Africa. There are options for every budget, and some are more affordable per person than comparable hotels.
