The announcement was made by Alejandro Reynal, Chief Executive Officer, who noted the additions will "bolster the organization's executive team to better adapt to the market, address evolving consumer needs, and deliver on our commitment to the travel agent community."
"The strength of ALG lies in our ability to remain dynamic in the ever-changing travel industry, and having a leadership structure that allows for increased accountability and agility is essential to our long-term success," said Reynal.
