Complete Pricing Transparency is our Priority

 

ALG Vacations®

 

Dear Valued Travel Advisor,

On behalf of ALG Vacations®, Trisept Solutions remains dedicated to consistent technology updates to better your booking experience and aid your business needs. The team is currently working diligently on system enhancements consistent with new California laws addressing price transparency.

All taxes and fees payable to ALG Vacations at the time of booking are included in the total vacation price displayed online or advertised by the ALG Vacations brands, while mandatory charges payable to third parties at the destination or prior to arrival are noted in the Hotel Advisories and Features sections of our sites. In support of pricing transparency, we are continuing to refine the booking experience, and some enhancements have already been completed on the VAX booking engine.

 

New Checkout Screen Message 

 

Verbiage has been added under the "Included taxes and fees" line item on the Reservations Summary checkout screen, with instruction to "See Hotel Advisories for any applicable Pay in Destination details." These hotel advisories display mandatory fees payable at the destination (as applicable and provided to us by the properties). If your clients are California residents, it is important to point out the Hotel Advisories and Features sections  of our sites so that the total vacation amount is disclosed. Charges payable in destination can vary based on length of stay, room type, and exchange rates at the time of travel.

 

 

 

 

Please refer to our short Hotel Advisories and Features videos for further guidance on their importance and where to find them. These videos, as well as brief tutorials, can also be found using the search feature in ALGVPro  and the Self-Help Library.

 

ENVF Price-Point Advertising Updates

 

Effective July 1, 2024, ALGV's price-point promotional advertising for our Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flight (ENVF) packages in our Weekly Pricing Grid and Deals pages will include third-party taxes and fees payable in destination or online before arrival through government websites. Please take note that ENVF price-point advertising will appear higher since it will now include such taxes and fees.

 

 

Enhancements coming over the next few weeks include revisions to the booking engine's Reservation Summary checkout screen, which will display the total vacation price, followed by a breakout of the amount due to the applicable ALGV brand, and charges payable to third parties in destination or prior to arrival. These booking experience enhancements in support of the new California legislation remain our top priority.



With kindness,
