Blue Sky Tours, renowned for its deep knowledge and expertise in Hawaiian travel, is broadening its brand identity to include an array of new destinations across the Indo-Pacific region. Notably, the expanded portfolio now includes travel options to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, the Maldives, and Japan.
Jacki Marks, the global head of trade brands at ALG Vacations, emphasized that the relaunch “honors that heritage in Hawaii and the South Pacific while expanding our reach into some of the world’s most exciting coastal destinations, giving advisors more to sell.” This renewed focus aims to enhance the offerings available to travel advisors and clients alike.
As part of the relaunch, Blue Sky Tours is introducing an array of new resources tailored for travel advisors. These include a dedicated Blue Sky Tours site for retailers, designed to streamline booking processes and enhance accessibility to information. Advisors will also gain access to ALGVPro training modules, providing valuable training and insights, alongside a comprehensive toolkit filled with destination guides.
15% Hotel Commission on All Bookings
Travel advisors are set to benefit significantly from the new commission structure, earning a 15% commission on hotel bookings tied to air-hotel packages and land-only reservations, regardless of their sales level. Additionally, commissions also apply to airfare and add-ons, making it a lucrative opportunity for advisors.
In terms of connectivity, Blue Sky Tours is expanding its airline partnerships, now including major carriers such as Philippines Air, Singapore Airlines, Jetstar, and Bangkok Airlines. This enhances the travel options available to clients across a variety of routes.
The tour operator offers increased travel credit flexibility, enabling the redemption of credits through its sister company, Funjet Vacations.
To celebrate this exciting relaunch, ALG Vacations is organizing an advisor sweepstakes that will reward participants with entries for every Blue Sky Tours booking made. Prizes include a trip for two to Thailand, complete with airfare courtesy of Singapore Airlines. Additionally, during the September Friends & Family event, advisors can earn extra entries toward more than 100 substantial prizes, which include $10,000 in cash.
