“ARDA continues to be an incredible partner for our organization, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak at this year’s conference,” said Rand. “We see a number of areas where we can provide innovative solutions for complex challenges within the industry, especially as it relates to resale, rental, and tour generation, and look forward to making new connections and having substantive conversations about the future of timeshare.”
Vacation Innovations has focused increasingly on maximizing the value and impact of its brands, products, and technology, working closely with resort partners to tailor products across its portfolio to comprehensively serve the rapidly changing needs of the timeshare industry.
“Our organization has evolved significantly over the past three decades, but we’ve placed constant emphasis on providing industry-leading technology and talent,” said Chad Newbold, CEO of Vacation Innovations. “This commitment has been reflected through our quality products and services, and we will continue to provide innovative solutions that serve the needs of our clients in the vacation ownership and larger travel industries.”
