ARDA’s 40th Anniversary: Celebrate our luminous past, present, and future!

In honor of the past 40 years of the timeshare industry and its own creation, the American Resort Development Association is proud to present a monthly page of fun facts, photos, and commentary.

If you would like a copy of the commemorative 90-minute DVD which was distributed at the recent Convention in Orlando, or the 40th Anniversary Developments supplement which was mailed with the March 2009 issue, please complete this form.

Passing the Torch: Next-Generation Timeshare Kids

Here is the full version of the story that appears in the September 2009 issue of Developments by Marge Lennon.

Be Part of History – and Predict the Future!

Share your thoughts on where the industry will be in ten years, when ARDA and the industry reach its 50th anniversary!  Send any ideas, predictions, and comments directly to achong@arda.org.  All submissions will be placed in a time capsule to be opened in 2019 during the 50th anniversary celebrations!

Be Part of the Celebration – and Share Your Story!

Are there other stories and memories or quotes you’d like to contribute?   Future columns will cover topics like the role of resort management companies and HOAs, vacation clubs and the points system, and generations of family involvement. We are specifically looking for anyone involved in those aspects of the industry and photos of generations of families in the timeshare business!  Please send any comments or photos to Anna Chongpinitchai at achong@arda.org.
