CARIBBEAN 2019
1969 - 2019 CELEBRATING 50 YEARSIt all started in 1969 when the founder ofApple Vacations, John J. Mullen, started sellinggroup travel out of a small storefront locationin Drexel Hill, PA. Early on, he realized that bybundling airfare, hotel, transfers, and more intoone package price, vacation planning wouldbecome easier and more affordable for leisuretravelers. Fifty years later, tens of millions ofApple Vacationers have enjoyed unforgettablevacation experiences. Apple Vacations is nowthe nation’s largest vacation company toMexico and Dominican Republic; a leader tothe Caribbean, Central America, and Hawaii;and the nation’s largest seller of all-inclusivevacations. It feels good to be an innovator.
The 1970’SIn the early and mid-1970’s, thecompany sold group tours toHawaii, Bermuda, the Bahamasand Ireland. Then in the late1970’s, Apple Vacations beganchartering its very own flights toCancun, and became one of thefirst to introduce the concept of“all-inclusive vacations” tothe U.S. market. Vacationersloved the ease of booking andfinancial predictability of the“one price buys all” model.The rest, as they say, is history.
Forever CaribbeanWhere emerald rainforests and resplendent tropical gardens burst in showers of vibrant color, andpalm trees sway to the beat of reggae. Where dozens of world cultures meld together and share theirdelightful heritages. Where the island sun warms your soul, and the smiles of its people steal your heart.Where dramatic sunsets over glistening seas serve as a prelude to a new dawn, and stars ignite the skyin a brilliant celebration of romance. Where passion grows deeper than the ocean floor, and strongerthan its rolling waves. This is forever the Caribbean.

The 1980’S Apple Vacations was among the first vacation companies to lease full aircraft and fly to sun destinations such as Cancun and Bermuda. In 1988, Apple Vacations Resort Representatives began meeting customers at their resort airports. A friendly face in a faraway place, vacationers felt reassured that their Representative was available throughout their stay to provide recommendations and help if needed. While their signature flowered shirt has changed with the times, the personalized service they continue to provide to vacationers remains second to none.4
