Home Research & Education

The research and education needs of the vacation ownership industry are fulfilled by the ARDA International Foundation. 

To benefit ARDA’s members, AIF produces three key research studies annually or biannually: The State of the Industry, Financial Performance and an Economic Impact Study. AIF also collects research from other vendors and lists them in the research library for all to view and order.

Many ARDA member companies and Universities rely on the Foundation as a source of current training and education materials and encourage their staff or students to learn about industry basics, complete a testing process and earn credits to industry designations or complete the industry certification program.
