“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.”
