The GNEX-CRTA 2022 Conference set to take place September 19-21 in Toronto, will notably be the gathering of thought leaders in the timeshare and vacation industries. As importantly, Canadian Resort and Travel Association (CRTA), the industry-based trade association dedicated to furthering Vacation Ownership in Canada and throughout the world, will announce the addition of five more board members.

CTRA’s membership base consists of Resorts, Timeshares, Vacation Clubs, Developers, HOAs, Exchange Companies, Management Companies, Financial Servicing Companies, Resale Companies, Marketing Companies, Suppliers as well as other Industry Associations and Professionals who offer their services within the industry.
According to CRTA Leader Gaetan Babin RRP, “As Canadians make up a considerable percentage of timeshare owners and vacation club members, particularly in Mexico and the Caribbean, we are expanding our board to include subject matter experts and thought leaders in multiple disciplines with extensive knowledge of the industry. We are looking forward to our Association board meeting on September 21 and will make the names of our newest board members at that time.”
The GNEX-CRTA conference is known for creating a positive environment for the acquisition of a new business. Attendees are rewarded with unique session formats and interactive networking events that are created especially for the GNEX Conference, and unrivaled access to top-level executives that span all areas of the hotel and resort industry.

The Canadian Resort & Travel Association
CRTA is an industry association that is dedicated to furthering the ownership-based vacation and resort development industry, both at home and abroad. The association was founded in 1980 as “The Resort Timesharing Council of Canada” in response to the public’s demand for more information about vacation ownership. Since then, CRTA has become the preeminent industry association representing all forms of Vacation Ownership in Canada. The Association is governed by an elected Board of Directors. We regularly host stimulating conferences, symposiums and committee meetings that encourage B-2-B opportunities, networking, education, and problem-solving among our members.
