Our Purpose

VacationBetter.org is brought to you by the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) as an informational resource about vacation ownership: timeshare, fractionals and private residence clubs. The website provides information about the various timeshare products, the benefits of taking an annual vacation and why a timeshare vacation is so appealing to the 8 million timeshare owners.

Established in 1969, ARDA is the national organization representing the timeshare industry. ARDA provides professional and educational development for its members, provides industry research and data, and advocates for policies that promote the vitality and continued growth of the industry. Based in Washington, D.C., ARDA is comprised of nearly 1,000 corporate members and more than one million timeshare owners.

Today, there are 1,548 resorts in the U.S., with 8.1 million intervals owned. Timeshares, fractionals and private residence clubs are also located in over 100 countries.
