Known for its Hawaii expertise, Blue Sky Tours aims to expand its brand identity with more destinations. Its portfolio additions include Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, the Maldives and Japan. 

ALG Vacations global head of trade brands Jacki Marks said the refresh “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.” 

The tour operator also has introduced new travel advisor resources, including a Blue Sky Tours site for retailers, ALGVPro training modules and a toolkit with destination guides. 

Anna Maria Addesso, ALG Vacations’ vice president of marketing, said ALG Vacations’ vision is for Blue Sky Tours to be a “premier specialist brand for the Indo-Pacific.” 

“We’ve refreshed the identity to feel modern and vibrant, mirroring the diverse cultures and landscapes of the region,” she said. 

15% hotel commission on all bookings

All travel advisors who book Blue Sky Tours will earn 15% hotel commission on air-hotel packages and land-only bookings regardless of sales level, plus commission on airfare and add-ons. The tour operator is offering access to more airlines, too, including Philippines Air, Singapore Airlines, Jetstar and Bangkok Airlines. 

The packager offers travel credit flexibility, enabling redemption validity for sister company Funjet Vacations. 

ALG Vacations is celebrating the relaunch with an advisor sweepstakes, entering Blue Sky Tours bookings for a chance to win a trip for two to Thailand, including air, courtesy of Singapore Airlines. Plus, as part of a September Friends & Family event, advisors will receive extra entries toward over 100 additional prizes, including $10,000 in cash.
