“At Vacatia, our goal is to help legacy resorts embrace a fresh approach and apply creative solutions, and Lori has a proven track record of success in this doing just that at Scottsdale Camelback,” said Caroline Shin, Vacatia’s CEO and co-founder. “We look forward to working with her at Scottsdale and across our portfolio, focusing on bringing Vacatia’s innovative products and services to our 50,000 owners and subscribers.”

During Entwistle’s tenure at Scottsdale Camelback, the resort has maintained RCI Gold Crown status, the highest quality designation from RCI. The property enjoys national recognition for its environmental initiatives, including TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders Silver Level and Certified Green Hotels from the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. Before joining Scottsdale Camelback, Entwistle held management positions with Hyatt Hotels, and she earned a B.S. in Hotel Administration from the University of Nevada Las Vegas and the American Hotel and Lodging Association’s Certified Hotel Administrator designation. She has been a frequent guest speaker at meetings of the American Resort Development Association and the Timeshare Board Members’ Association.

“I look forward to contributing to Vacatia’s efforts to help vacation ownership resorts and their owners thrive,” Entwistle said. “With the additional resources that Vacatia can provide, Scottsdale Camelback Resort is now well-positioned to continue its track record of success.”

In the past few years, Vacatia has rapidly grown its property management services to more than 65 timeshare and condominium associations nationwide. The company has more than 750 industry partners, including some of the largest timeshare companies, relying on it for rental and resale services.
