## Story

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. - Land and resort vacation business is up more than 50 percent in 2022 compared to 2019. Apple Leisure Group and AMResorts co-hosted the annual Dream Vacations Land Summit at the Dreams Onyx in Punta Cana, D.R. During the four-day training, more than 120 travel agents participated in interactive workshops, agent panels, hotel events, and site inspections.

“It’s always a pleasure to work with Dream Vacations agents who focus on marketing and selling land vacations,” said Jim Tedesco, vice president of sales for ALG Vacations. “The travel industry is strengthened by the relationships local businesses build with the partners they choose to work with, and ALG Vacations does not take that lightly,” Tedesco said. “This Land Summit was the perfect opportunity to showcase how we can grow stronger and more successful together.”

“Our agents benefit more from small training groups so they can engage with suppliers and each other, ultimately gaining a deeper understanding of the product,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager for Dream Vacations. “Small businesses need innovation, customization, and consumer insight to grow. For our travel advisors to be successful, we ensured that our Land Summit addressed relevant best practices and provided them with the latest tools, resources, and content.

The Land Summit concluded the 2022 Immersive Education Series, which featured intimate training opportunities on niche topics such as groups, luxury, and river cruising.
