Interval International recently hosted an Info-Exchange Seminar at
the Westin Dawn Beach Resort & Spa in Philipsburg, St. Maarten.
More than 75 sales, marketing, and operations personnel from
Interval-affiliated resorts received an overview of Interval’s products,
services, and digital platforms. Irania Arrindell, St. Maarten’s Minister
of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic, and Telecommunication, as well
as several St. Maarten Tourist Bureau officials, attended the event to
learn about the latest timeshare industry trends.
David C. Gilbert, Interval’s president, discussed the company’s
role in shared ownership in the Caribbean. Howard Nusbaum, pres-
ident and CEO of the American Resort Development Association
(ARDA), presented key findings from recent industry studies. Marcel
J. Javois, featured speaker and president of the St. Maarten Timeshare
Association, provided an
update on the local mar-
ket and the status of
legislative initiatives.
Other Interval pre-
senters included Bryan
Ten Broek, senior vice
president of resort sales
and marketing; Soraya
Gonzales, assistant vice
president of resort assis-
tance; and Neil Kolton,
director of resort sales
and service for the
Caribbean and Florida.
Interval hosted a reception at the nearby Oyster Bay Beach
Resort’s Infinity Restaurant and Bar to celebrate the company’s 40th
anniversary.
Cindy Clarke, reservations manager at Oyster Bay Beach Resort,
counts the St. Maarten Info-Exchange as her fourth and claims that
each event has been equally valuable. “In my experience, there is
always something to learn. Interval is always adding to all that they
already offer.”
Another Info-Exchange Seminar is set for October 25, 2016, at the
Eden Roc Miami Beach Resort & Spa in Miami Beach, Florida.
