IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), the world’s largest hotel group by number of rooms, announces today the formation of a strategic alliance with The Family of Orange Lake Resorts to create a new timeshare brand, Holiday Inn Club Vacations™.
Holiday Inn Club Vacations will launch in December 2008 with Orange Lake’s flagship 2,412 villa property in Orlando, Florida. This marks IHG’s first move into the timeshare market, one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. holiday and vacation industry. [Source: American Resort Development Association (ARDA)]
The conversion of the remaining Orange Lake resorts in Ascutney, Vermont (60 villas), Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (68 villas) and Panama City, Florida (18 villas) are scheduled to follow shortly after.
This alliance is unique in that it allows IHG to enter the timeshare industry, purely through an exclusive licensing and marketing agreement. Orange Lake will continue to own, operate and develop these timeshare resorts as a privately held company.

Planning on taking a vacation this year with someone else? Chances are good that your travel personalities will differ. She loves the beach; you hate sitting around, baking in the hot sun. He likes concerts and lots of action; you prefer museums and out-of-the-way historical sites. When it comes down to it, your picture-perfect vacation might not match the travel personality of your significant other, your family members, or your friends.
So, what’s the solution? Have all members of your next vacation take a travel-personality quiz before you start planning your next vacation. It’s a great way to discover the true “inner-traveler” of your fellow vacationers. And, remember, the sanity you save just might be your own.
Even if you don’t agree with some of the results, it’s still fun to take “personality” quizzes. So go ahead, find your “inner-traveler”!
