ARDA Timeshare Conference 2011, a Time for Listening to Timeshare Owners
Monday, March 21, 2011
With the American Resort Development Association Conference (ARDA) just days away, now is a good time to focus on one of the many ways this years’s timeshare and vacation ownership conference is responding to the changing needs of consumers. Because ARDA and other leaders in the timeshare industry understand how important it is to listen to the voice of current and prospective timeshare owners and timeshare renters, this year’s ARDA event in Orlando, Florida will focus on doing exactly that.
As ARDA’s President and CEO, Howard Nusbaum explains in the video below, timeshare is “a lot more than sticks and bricks and real estate.”
