As the vacation ownership market evolves, we have successfully grown alongside it by offering customizable solutions for self-managed resorts. Our award-winning Grand Pacific Vacation Services address the specific needs of smaller resorts, ranging from rental and inventory management to collections and owner benefits. We initially began providing these tailored services at the timeshare units located on property at Lea Casa at Casa de Emdeko in Hawai’i and have since expanded to self-managed resorts in San Francisco, Wisconsin, and Indiana. We expect to continue extending this customizable offering in addition to our ongoing focus on full management contract opportunities.
Our financial processes rely on robust technology platforms for effective budgeting and revenue management. Inventory harvesting through a CRM knowledge base and comprehensive marketing efforts ensure proper assessment revenue collection as an integral component of the overall budgeting process. As fiduciaries, the Board of Directors ensures proper reserve funding, allocating the appropriate funds for resort maintenance and any necessary future improvements.
Effective inventory management is crucial for achieving revenue goals, and we optimize allocations for each of our managed resorts, ensuring that each one generates sufficient rental revenue to cover its daily operations, maintenance fees, and reserve funds, with the goal of exceeding annual revenue targets while prioritizing owner utilization. Our forecasting model tool improves year over year with the advancements in data and artificial intelligence and guide our communication, pricing, and marketing strategies. These processes have led to either meeting or exceeding our annual revenue goals, with 99.5 percent accuracy in owner and rental reservations along with resort occupancy rates consistently in the high 80s, even during the off season.
