Avoya Travel has successfully wrapped the 2025 Million Dollar Showcase, held for the second consecutive year at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The third edition of the invite-only event convened 170 attendees, including 94 independent agents in the Avoya Network, along with Avoya leadership and top supplier partners.
This year’s Million Dollar Showcase opened with a White Night cocktail reception hosted by Azamara Cruises and concluded with the Mirrorball Masquerade, where Avoya honored top-producing independent agencies. Awards recognized top achievements across cruise, tour, river and resort sales, along with other standout business performance categories.
In addition to educational sessions, roundtables and one-on-one meetings, the event featured standout keynote presentations from industry leaders. Vicki Freed, senior vice president of sales, trade support & services at Royal Caribbean International, kicked off the first General Session with an inspiring address on advisor success and partnership. On the second day, Chuck Goetschel, CEO of Rallio, delivered a dynamic session on the role of AI in supporting the everyday life of a travel advisor.
Attendees also enjoyed a special offsite celebration at EPCOT, sponsored by Disney Destinations, capped by a fireworks finale.
Kristen Steele, vice president, national and strategic accounts at Globus family of brands, said: “Participating in the Million Dollar Showcase was an incredible opportunity to connect with the ‘best of the best’ independent agencies in the Avoya Network. The agenda was perfectly planned with a balance of general sessions and one-on-one meetings. The event was a masterclass in strategic collaboration, fresh perspectives, and actionable takeaways for all.”
Avoya leadership echoed the event’s significance. “The Million Dollar Showcase is an opportunity to not only recognize the incredible performance of Avoya top advisors, but to deepen strategic alignment with key supplier partners,” said Phil Cappelli, chief sales officer of Avoya Travel. “It’s a celebration of everything that makes the Avoya Network exceptional: performance, professionalism and partnership.”
The 2025 Million Dollar Showcase reflects Avoya’s continued commitment to recognizing advisor excellence, strengthening supplier relationships and supporting the long-term success of its advisor-first model.
