Traveling together has never been more popular. 

According to ALG Vacations, group bookings have hit historic levels in 2023. In fact, they are pacing to be up year over year in 2024 as well. 

Part of this demand for group travel is due to pent-up demand that is still around after the pandemic but there are more reasons. ALG Vacations is making it easier than ever to book groups. 

Offers like its Together in Paradise campaign are helping to drive new business with lucrative group offers that benefit both travel advisors and their clients. 

This offer in particular includes a limited time group credit of up to $1,250 that is available for bookings through September 14, 2023 for travel through December 15, 2024. 

Clients can take advantage of this offer at a vast array of properties, including Inclusive Collection resorts, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, Karisma properties, Melia, Oasis Hotels & Resorts, Palladium and more.
