Apple Leisure Group Vacations (ALGV)’s fifth Ascend Conference wrapped up late last week and as part of two full days of workshops, and connections, travel advisors and suppliers gathered in the Cancun Center auditorium to hear from the leadership team at ALGV.
Advisors submitted questions prior to the discussion, which was moderated by vice president of sales, Jim Tedesco. The conversation kicked off on a celebratory note – it’s now three years since ALGV was acquired by Hyatt, which group president Ray Snisky says has been fantastic for the company – before touching upon some pain points advisors are facing.
“I am excited about the products we’re going to add next year,” Snisky said, specifically touting Hyatt’s acquisition of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, a $66 million deal that will give ALGV’s members access to a collection of over 1,500 boutique and luxury properties.
