Education doesn’t stop at a screen. In 2025, @Dug Education doesn’t stop at a screen.

In 2025, @DugansTravels invested in real-world, hands-on experiences for advisors — from Virgin Voyages and Royal Caribbean sailings to Hawaii FAMs, Disneyland, London, Scotland, Ireland with Globus, and more.

Why? Because advisors sell better when they truly experience what they recommend.

✔ Ship & resort inspections
✔ Supplier relationships
✔ Peer collaboration
✔ Destination immersion

And the momentum continues into 2026.

✈️ If you’re evaluating host agencies, ask: How do they show up for their advisors?
