The company’s cornerstone timeshare
businesses won a total of 13 awards recognizing leadership in
sales, marketing, legal, training, and communications
At the annual American Resort Development Association (ARDA)
conference for the vacation ownership industry, Travel + Leisure
Co. (NYSE:TNL) was recognized with a total of 13 awards, including
the prestigious ARDA ACE Award for Philanthropy and Community
Service.
The company was recognized for the creation of the Travel +
Leisure Charitable Foundation and its focus on providing
scholarships to embrace diverse and inclusive communities through a
variety of programs that include leadership training, mentoring
opportunities, and educational support.
The Foundation’s flagship Travel + Leisure Eatonville
Scholarship Program provides scholarships to high school students
who are full-time residents of the town of Eatonville in Orange
County, Florida —the first, self-governing all African American
incorporated municipality in the country. The scholarship program
aims to promote educational excellence within the Eatonville
community.
The Foundation is granting its first scholarships to graduates
at Edgewater High School in Orlando at the school’s annual awards
ceremony today.
“We are committed to making an impact in the communities where
we work and live, and I am proud of the positive difference our
team is making around the world.” said Michael D. Brown, president
and CEO of Travel + Leisure Co. “As our momentum builds, we are
honored by this recognition of our contributions. Today, less than
one year after the launch of the Foundation, we will award the
first seven Travel + Leisure Eatonville Scholarships to students of
excellence in Central Florida, delivering on our goal to enable
dreams beyond vacations.”
The company’s Wyndham Destinations vacation ownership business
line was the recipient of numerous awards, including a program
which optimizes the availability of inventory at the most popular
resorts for its timeshare owners. Leaders in sales, marketing,
legal, training, and communications were also honored for their
work around the globe.
“While we continue to thrive as the world’s leading membership
and travel company, we remain responsible corporate neighbors,
fulfilling not only our business goals but also delivering on our
ESG tenets as we put the world on vacation,” Brown said.
