The amount of travel planning is continuing to increase, which means travel advisors are only getting busier as the year goes on. This is a positive change for agents who have suffered through the coronaviruses epidemic which caused travel businesses to come to a standstill.

It's important for agents to stay organized if they want to be successful because it's easy to get off track when you're being pulled in several different directions.

VERTISING

A travel advisor's day is never the same as it was the day before, from client consultations and research to schedule changes and follow-up calls. Staying organized can help advisors increase their sales, but they need to work smarter.

Being intentional about the companies you work with is one way of doing that. The vacation company aims to make life easier for travel advisors and their clients. The agents have all the resources they need in one place.

There are six different brands that advisors can work with within ALGV. VAX VacationAccess is the booking engine for all brands.

Travel advisors can create an entire itinerary all in one place, and the components offered go far beyond just airfare and hotel reservations. Adding travel insurance, ground transportation, tours, excursions, airline seat assignments and more to itineraries is a one-stop-shop experience for advisors.

VAX VacationAccess has a number of tools and resources for agents to use such as the latest travel insights, webinars and training programs, and information about the various travel companies the brand works with. The latest deals and promotions will be found by agents.

A reference page has been created for travel advisors to find assistance with understanding the various international COVID travel updates.
