In a move that simplifies the exclusive benefits available when booking an Apple Leisure Group Vacations (ALGV) package, the parent company of Apple Vacations, Travel Impressions, Funjet Vacations, Southwest Vacations and United Vacations has consolidated the individual brand programs into one robust collection: ALG Vacations Exclusive Perks.
Previously separate programs under the individual brands (such as Exceptional Values, Partner Privileges, Insider Circle Perks and Hotel Exclusive Benefits), Exclusive Perks now combines all of the ALGV brands 2020 exclusive offers. Advisors can offer their customers the same complimentary and ALGV-only added values, regardless of what brand they choose to book.
Offers vary depending on hotel brand, specific property and, in some cases, even room category; however, the caveats for inclusion are that:
- The benefit is not available through other operators and travel providers, including hotel direct and OTAs not within the ALGV family
- They are above and beyond the typical offers that have become ubiquitous in the industry
The Exclusive Perks may include:
- Private roundtrip airport transfers for multiple passengers
- Special complimentary excursions, such as a sunset sail or cenotes tour
- Exclusive tasting sessions and private cocktail parties for ALGV guests only
- Preferred check-in and checkout in reserved areas for greater social distancing
- Private airport lounge access, complete with complimentary snacks and beverages
- Special programs, such as a Kids Concierge package, which includes in-room amenities and events, cooking classes, face painting, themed kits and more
- High-floor room assignment for best views and property locations
