Holiday Inn Club Vacations was honored with 15 ARDY Awards, a record for the team, at the annual American Resort Development Association (ARDA) Awards Gala March 29 in New Orleans.

The award is given to a volunteer who actively promotes the member experience and advocates for ARDA membership throughout the year.

They all have contributed so much to the success of our brand and the record growth of our business.”

Plus, sales and marketing received four awards: marketing team, marketing programs, salesperson – specialty sales, and sales trainer.
