Avoya Travel is celebrating the success of the 2024 Million Dollar Showcase, which took place at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando from July 29 to August 1. Following the inaugural Million Dollar Showcase in 2023, the event returned this year as an annual addition to Avoya’s calendar of in-person events. An exclusive event for Avoya Network members pacing to sell at least $1 million in 2024, the agenda was curated to provide top-producing independent agencies with opportunities to network with one another, build relationships with Avoya’s staff and supplier partners, and enhance their businesses through educational offerings targeted specifically to high-performing travel sellers.
Highlights of the networking opportunities at the Million Dollar Showcase included multiple cocktail parties, an Avoya Lounge for attendees and one-on-one appointments with suppliers. A particularly popular experience was a surprise "Haunted Mansion"-themed dinner complete with a cast of characters and immersive décor held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort and sponsored by Disney Destinations. The final evening of the event included an Awards Gala to honor the top-producing Avoya Network members with a night of celebrations, dinner and dancing.
Much of the agenda was filled with educational opportunities including panels and presentations from Avoya’s preferred supplier partners, onstage discussions with some of Avoya’s most successful travel advisors, and a headlining keynote speech from Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara. Interactive workshops throughout the days were another highlight of the event for independent agencies, including sessions on maximizing earning outcomes, tips and tricks for optimizing performance in Avoya’s proprietary SaaS platform, Agent Power, utilizing social media to grow their businesses, leveraging generative artificial intelligence in their daily workflows, and more.
During the opening General Session, Avoya unveiled two new premier commission structures to incentivize growth and repeat business. Avoya also announced that its 2024 Recognition Reward Trips for top-producing independent agencies will be hosted by Windstar Cruises and Oceania Cruises early next year.
