Aligned with the theme of this year’s CRDA’s annual Vacation Ownership Conference, “Exploring The Business Of Vacations,” the award will be announced at the 2013 VO-Con, scheduled for October 22-23 in Vancouver, Canada.

CRDA, the Canadian Resort Development Association, has announced the dates and is setting the agenda for its VO-CON, Vacation Ownership Conference. Scheduled for October 22-23, in Vancouver, B.C., at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, the VO-CON mandate is: “Exploring The Business Of Vacations.”
CRDA, much like ARDA in the United States, is a timeshare and vacation ownership industry based association, dedicated to furthering the shared ownership resort and leisure industry. Founded more than 20 years ago, CRDA was originally known as “the Resort Timesharing Council of Canada,” and was created in response to a public demand for more information about fee simple and deeded timeshare.
Each year, the CRDA Conference covers all aspects of the vacation ownership industry from timeshares to fractionals and condo hotels and vacation club membership, showcasing speakers, forums, vendors, and the timely topics, challenges and opportunities of the industry.
You can find out more about the conference by contacting Vicki Welstead at 416-924-2002, ext. 233 and by visiting the CRDA website at www.vocon.ca. You will also find more information about registrations, speakers and schedule.
