Bluegreen Vacations Now Official Vacation Ownership Provider for Choice Hotels

Bluegreen Vacations announced that it has become the “Official Vacation Ownership Provider” for Choice Hotels International. Yesterday, the Boca Raton, Florida based Bluegreen Corporation announced that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bluegreen Vacations and Bluegreen Resorts Management, Inc, have entered into multi-year, strategic alliance agreements with Choice Hotels International, Inc.

The move positions Bluegreen Vacations (Bluegreen timeshare) as the “Official Vacation Ownership Provider of Choice Hotels.” Choice Hotels currently franchises approximately 6,200 hotels in the United States and more than 30 countries and territories.

Both Bluegreen Vacations and Choice Hotels will be able to expand their brands and customer relationships through this association. The 21 Bluegreen Vacation Club timeshare properties will become part of the Choice Hotels Ascend Collection, which is already defined by its historic, boutique, and unique hotels. All Bluegreen timeshare owners will be eligible to take advantage of discount rates at the 6200 Choice hotels, worldwide. Additionally the new partnering means that select components of the Choice Hotels loyalty program, (Choice Privileges®) will combine with TravelerPlus™, the current Bluegreen travel benefits program.

Bluegreen timeshare President and CEO John M. Maloney, Jr. said. “While we certainly believe that we will benefit from the marketing opportunities, we are also excited by the other aspects of our alliance with Choice Hotels. We expect that this arrangement will add value for our current owners and will be very attractive to prospective owners based on the credibility of the Choice Hotel brands and the appeal of our expanded product offerings.”

Where will your Bluegreen timeshare adventures take you?

Timeshare owners sometimes voice the concern that after they buy a timeshare, they don’t always know about the full range of perks and benefits available to them as vacation owners or ownership members. If you own timeshare, be sure to thoroughly explore your timeshare’s website and other material provided to you so that you don’t miss out on any of the special services you actually own. Among the great timeshare companies that offer many special privileges is Bluegreen timeshare, whose owners have the opportunity to enjoy a number of benefits. Here’s a little more information on one of those perks, known as Bluegreen® Owner Adventures.

You’ll always be traveling with other Bluegreen owners, and with a reception to kick off each adventure, you’ll quickly feel that you are traveling with friends.

The Indianapolis based customer service team of Bluegreen Vacations (Bluegreen timeshare) is honored for delivering outstanding customer service. Read their press release below to find out  how Bluegreen timeshare  Indianapolis implemented a 5-year plan to help them realize this goal.

Bluegreen Vacations Wins Gold Stevie Award in the 2012 International Business Awards

Bluegreen Vacations today announced that their Indianapolis based customer service team has been named a Gold Stevie(R) Award winner in the Customer Service Team of the Year category in the 9th Annual International Business Awards.

“It is incredibly exciting to be recognized on an International level for the top Customer Service organization of 2012 through the Stevie Awards,” said Wendy Poe, Senior Vice President of Club Services for Bluegreen. “The team has been working incredibly hard to raise the bar in all aspects of our operation. It is rewarding to know that we can compete against a broad range of industries throughout the world and garner this honor from such a prestigious organization!”

The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. The 2012 IBAs received entries from more than 50 nations and territories.

Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala awards banquet at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Seoul, South Korea on 15 October.

More than 3,200 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year, among others. Bluegreen Vacations won in the Customer Service Team of the Year category for Travel/Tourism.

Bluegreen’s customer service team set a goal five years ago to dramatically enhance their service delivery, process automation and training initiatives to improve our owner’s and associate’s experience with Bluegreen. They managed to increase customer satisfaction 6% during the first year of deployment alone and have achieved significant improvements to the efficiency of their operation. Poe says the key to success was creating an “environment of empowerment,” giving supervisors and managers more freedom and flexibility to achieve the department’s goals, and it worked.

“Happy associates equal happy customers,” she said.

Stevie Award winners were selected by more than 300 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process this year.

“Entries to the IBAs grew substantially this year,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “Despite slow economic conditions in much of the world, the quality of nominations was outstanding, demonstrating that there are many companies that are innovating and growing regardless. We’re looking forward to celebrating this year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners at our gala event in Seoul on 15 October.”
