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 regarding timeshare laws; subdivided land regulations; sales and marketing regulations; real estate and property management licensing; sales, property, and occupancy taxes; consumer protection regulations and other fundamental issues for the vacation ownership industry.
