Who can book Blue Sky Tours?

Blue Sky Tours is exclusively available through travel advisors. It is not available for consumers to book directly.

What commissions can I earn?

Advisors earn 15% hotel commission on packaged and land-only bookings, regardless of sales level. Commission is also available on air and add-ons. You can also set your own commission, increasing your earnings and optimizing your profit.

How is Blue Sky Tours different from other ALG Vacations brands?

Blue Sky Tours specializes in Hawaii and Indo-Pacific destinations, providing expertise, resources, and support specific to these regions. Unlike broader brands, Blue Sky Tours is dedicated to helping advisors sell these destinations with confidence and earn competitive commissions. Another key distinction is our exclusive $350 per person bulk low deposit policy, giving your clients more flexibility and making it easier for you to close sales.

Are there low deposit options?

Yes — only $250 per person is required on bulk and published fares when purchasing Travel Protection Plus – Future Travel Credit and an exclusive $350pp low deposit on bulk fares without purchasing Travel Protection Plus – Future Travel Credit.

Is there any flexibility for travel credits issued for Blue Sky Tours?

Yes – Travel Credits can be applied to any future Blue Sky Tours booking. If your client would like to redeem for a destination outside the portfolio, credits can be applied to any ALG Vacations destination via sister company Funjet Vacations.

What kind of product is available?
