Introduced in 2024, Avoya Socials provide a relaxed, casual atmosphere for Avoya Network members to focus on the relationship aspect of their businesses while also offering supplier partners a chance to further experience Avoya’s culture.
Avoya Travel held its second Avoya Social of the year on March 24 at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada following the first day of the annual Las Vegas Travel Agent Forum.

To capitalize on the anticipation and attendance of the Las Vegas Travel Agent Forum, Avoya Travel arranged an entertaining night of food, drinks, conversations, and games, providing Avoya Network members with a unique opportunity to build and foster key relationships with suppliers, fellow Independent Agencies, and Avoya staff during a major industry event. The festivities included a lively cocktail hour, travel-themed games, and a raffle, among other engaging activities. A select group of Avoya Network members also took part in an exclusive tour of the Caesars Palace Las Vegas Villa Collection hosted by Rental Escapes.
“The event was a fun and clever way to get people talking to each other,” said Makaila Curtis, an Independent Licensed Agent of Brando’s Fun N’ Sun Travel, a member of the Avoya Network. “The food and drinks were wonderful as always, and we were able to reconnect with old acquaintances and make new connections. Thank you to the Avoya team for arranging it!”
The Avoya Social events are specially crafted to provide Independent Agencies with dedicated time to create and nurture collaborative connections with one another in addition to Avoya’s suppliers and staff.
