ARDA’s formidable advocacy arm promotes and defends the vacation ownership industry at the local, state, federal and international levels.

ARDA is the Voice of the Vacation Ownership Industry

From state houses to Capitol Hill, ARDA educates policymakers and forges relationships so that the industry is properly recognized as a key sector of the hospitality industry. ARDA’s advocacy work has succeeded in bringing about favorable legislation at home and abroad on timesharing; subdivided land; telemarketing; real estate and property management licensing; sales, property, and occupancy taxes; and other fundamental issues for the vacation ownership industry.
