You won't see signs for the country's sweetest travel-club deal in the window of your local travel store.

A token $100 buys the opportunity to attend all-inclusive events on ALEC's busy calendar of summits, conferences, and academies, where you and your family can enjoy some of the country's finest resorts and destination hotels.
