ARDA Inside Look - Issue 29

First Word

President/CEO Jason Gamel

Dear Members,

September is right around the corner, and I can’t believe summer is almost over! Even though summer is fading, I am energized by the timeshare industry continuing to lead the surge in leisure travel and by our accomplishments here at ARDA. That includes the successful ARDA VIP meeting in July, which brought together timeshare industry leaders and experts from the hospitality community right in the heart of timeshare country - Orlando, Florida. With the Mayor of Orange County, Florida - Jerry Demings - kicking off the programming (read more here.)

The summer months were busy for the ARDA marketing and communications team, who secured favorable industry placement in traditional media channels, including Forbes, Travel Noire, MSN, Skift, and Yahoo to mention just a few. The team also shared original and amplified content through the daily ARDA360 social media campaign. Follow and connect to the ARDA360 campaign to read these and more. We also invite you to share your industry news, blogs, and content with us at news@arda.org so we can include it in our posts and communications.

And no summer is complete without a giant Love My Timeshare sculpture, right? A big shout out to Vacation Villages, who welcomed owners and guests to their lobby with the first-of-its-kind branded LMT sculpture! It’s a great Instagram-able moment of smiles and joy for all to see!

I hope you enjoy this edition of the ARDA Inside Look and the rest of summer before it's gone!
