We’re thrilled to continue celebrating our 2024 ARDA Award winners!

The award for New Products: Industry Partner went to our innovative Maintenance Fee Protection program, a first-of-its-kind product that reimburses the cost of annual maintenance fees for timeshare owners when they are unable to use their interval or points. This product serves the interests of both the consumer and the industry, providing relief for owners who can't make use of their ownership while contributing to the financial health of timeshare owners' associations.

Plus, our Director of Communications, Alex Glover, earned the prestigious ARDA ACE Emerging Leader Award, recognizing him as a professional on the rise within the resort industry.

Congratulations again to our teams on this recognition, and to all of this year’s ARDA Awards finalists and winners!
