Consortia X Shines at AIC Hotel Group's 2025 Showstopper Awards
Sixteen advisors from twelve Consortia X agencies were honored at Ava Resort Cancun, November 10–13, 2025.
AIC Hotel Group's 2025 Showstopper Awards brought more than 250 of its top travel partners to Ava Resort Cancun from November 10 to 13, 2025: three evenings of celebrations, closing with a finale and a surprise performance by award-winning musical artists.
The awards recognize the partners who drove AIC's success over the past year, based on room-night production across the All Inclusive Collection, including Hard Rock All-Inclusive Resorts, UNICO, Nobu and AVA Resort Cancun.
Consortia X was well represented: 12 member agencies and 16 advisors were honored.
Ash Tembe, VP of Sales & Marketing at AIC Hotel Group, called the Showstopper Awards "the most anticipated event in this industry," built to honor the top travel partners who play a key role in AIC's success.
