Bluegreen Corporation and Bluegreen Timeshare Named Funtastic Travel Partner by Carnival

Carnival Cruise Lines has named Bluegreen Corporation, owner of Bluegreen Timeshare, as one of six ‘Funtastic’ travel partners of 2010. Each year, Bluegreen books almost $5M in cruise business for their owner/members. And Bluegreen timeshare owners rank their level of satisfaction with cruise bookings through Bluegreen and Carnival as “high”.

Each year, Carnival selects Funtastic’ partners from each of Carnival’s four US sales territories based on nominations from Carnival’s team of business development managers. Bluegreen Corporation represents Carnival’s Central Region, which has offices based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Selection criteria includes 1. year-over-year growth: 2: improvement in key performance metrics; and 3. overall partnership strength.

Wendy Poe, Senior Vice President of Club Services and Customer Care of Bluegreen Corporation, says, “We are truly honored that the Bluegreen Travel Services team was selected as one of six top travel partners in 2010 by Carnival Cruise Lines. This is a very prestigious award and we look forward to growing our successful relationship with Carnival in 2011.”

Joni Rein, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Carnival Cruise Lines says, “We congratulate our ‘Funtastic’ travel partners on the many accomplishments they’ve achieved throughout the past year and thank them for their tremendous support. These partners exemplify the reason why so many of us chose to work in the travel industry–to have fun, be successful and help people realize their vacation dreams. We’re inspired by their partnership and by the many valued travel partners we work with every day.”
