Attention RubysTravel Team Vendors. If you didn't receive an invitation to our annual party this year, please email us as soon as possible. I am having an issue with email, and a lot of your emails were returned undeliverable. [email protected] I need to get this organized because the date will be here before you know it.

What an excellent lunch training today with HX Expeditions! Jim and I went to the Galapagos with them, and it was absolutely amazing! Thank you, Aidan Flood and Steve Smotrys!

ALG Vacations® (ALGV) has selected Ruby Stanfield, Owner of RubysTravel.com, LLC to serve on its 2025/2026 Advisory Board for agency owners and managers. Ruby Stanfield was one of eighteen travel advisors selected from more than one hundred highly qualified applicants.

ALG Vacations, the nation’s leader in leisure travel, consists of well-known and highly respected brands including Apple Vacations®, Funjet Vacations®, Travel Impressions®, Southwest Vacations®, Blue Sky Tours®, and United Vacations®. Together, they send millions of travelers annually to vacation destinations across the globe.

The mission of the ALG Vacations Advisory Board is to bring travel advisors and ALG Vacations leadership together to grow their joint businesses while delivering exceptional vacation experiences. The board, consisting of travel agency owners and managers, will represent the travel advisor community at large, working together with ALG Vacations leadership to develop policies and make strategic decisions affecting their joint businesses and mutual clients.

The ALG Vacations Advisory Board was established in 2020 and has since become an invaluable forum for collaboration between ALGV and the travel advisor community. Now entering its fifth year, the board continues to bring together a diverse group of travel professionals representing different agency models, regions, and specialties—all with the shared goal of shaping the future of leisure travel.

“As our primary distribution channel, travel advisors have always been at the heart of our business, and the ALG Vacations Advisory Board has proven to be an indispensable resource,” said Jacki Marks, Global Head of Trade Brands at ALG Vacations. “Bringing together advisors from across the industry allows us to gain real-world insights directly from those who work with travelers every day. Their perspectives help us refine our products, enhance our service, and ensure ALGV continues to support advisors in the most meaningful ways.”

The newly appointed ALGV Advisory Board will begin its 12-month term this June, collaborating with ALG Vacations leadership throughout the year to discuss key issues shaping the future of leisure travel.
