Interval International, a prominent worldwide provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group and the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) have announced the renewal of the strategic alliance first established in 2000.

"We are proud to extend this relationship and reaffirm our long-standing commitment to the Caribbean hospitality industry," said Craig M.

"We greatly value our alliance with Interval and appreciate the company’s dedication to our organization. Throughout the years, the Interval team has committed significant time and resources to further our objectives and we look forward to working together on future endeavors," said Alec Sanguinetti, director general and chief executive officer of CHTA.

Interval will continue to play a leadership role in supporting CHTA programs and events, including the Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Investment Conference and the Caribbean Marketplace Conference. The company also spearheads fundraising initiatives in partnership with the vacation ownership industry for CHTA’s Education Foundation.

Josef Forstmayr, president of CHTA noted, "Interval and its member resorts have played a key role in funding the education of our industry’s future leaders. As a result of their efforts, the vacation ownership industry has become the single largest contributor to the CHTA Foundation."

The Caribbean has proven itself to be a very popular destination for both current owners and prospective timeshare purchasers of the vacation ownership product. According to the 2009 U.S. Membership Profile,a study of Interval’s U.S.-resident members, the Caribbean is the leading international location to which members plan to travel in the next two years. In addition, the Shared Ownership 2010: A Market Perspective cites the Caribbean as the preferred international destination among U.S. leisure travelers interested in traveling outside the continental United States. The study offers unique insights into the evolving product, vacation habits, preferences, and intentions of U.S. leisure travelers who are interested in acquiring some form of shared ownership in the next two years.

Interval International operates membership programs for vacationers and provides value-added services to its developer clients worldwide.
