If
you have a keen eye, youmay have noticed
that on the cover and other places in this issue of
Vacation Industry Review
, the name of our com-
pany is listed as ILG, rather than Interval Leisure
Group. The corporate logo (see the masthead on
the bottom of page 2) has also been updated.
What’s up with the changes? The seemingly
small refinements reflect a big-picture evolution for
the company. It’s all part of a rebranding effort that
speaks to our growth and maturation over the past
eight years. The initiative has involved amodification
of the company name, a new logo, a dynamic new
website, and the articulation of our commitment to
our clients, owners, and guests into a powerful mis-
sion statement.
Where It All Began
When ILG was created in 2008 — as the result of
a spinoff from our former parent company IAC —
Interval International was virtually the entire business.
Frequently referred to as — simply — “Interval,” the
exchange company had been a familiar industry
participant for more than 30 years. In order to retain
continuity and remain recognizable to the exchange
company’s partners and business associates, we
wanted our name to reflect the Interval connection.
In the last eight years, however, we’ve watched
as the industry has undergone an evolution in
which companies have consolidated and diversi-
fied. ILG, too, has experienced transformation and
today serves as a leading provider of professionally
delivered vacation experiences. We’ve assembled
a portfolio of highly respected businesses through
acquisitions and joint ventures, the latest of which
represent the Hyatt, Sheraton, and Westin brands
in vacation ownership. Our owners, members, and
guests have access to an array of benefits and ser-
vices, as well as world-class destinations through
our international collection of resorts and clubs.
As such, we’re taking the opportunity to reintro-
duce ourselves. We’ve evolved and grown, we’ve
earned our street cred, we’re well-established,
and we’re confident that our recognition is strong
enough that Interval Leisure Group can stand as —
simply — ILG.
More Than a Name
But the rebranding is more than a name and logo
makeover. As part of the initiative, we also changed
our Nasdaq ticker symbol from IILG to ILG, and we
launched a new website with comprehensive infor-
mation about the group, as well as our family of oper-
ating companies. The site brings to life our message,
our mission — to make every leisure experience
memorable—and our values.
We remain committed to teamwork and cele-
brating our successes with our valued clients; we
continue to direct our passion and energy into inno-
vatingandchallenging thestatusquo;we’vepledged
ourselves toa service culture that always goes above
and beyond; and we’re resolute that everything we
do is carried out with integrity and excellence.
These, of course, have been values that have
always guided the company — since the earliest
days of Interval International. And as we draw near
the end of the year-long observance of Interval’s 40th
anniversary, we at ILG and all seven of our operating
businesses rededicate ourselves to the guiding prin-
ciples that havehelpedearn the respect of our clients,
owners, and guests, as well asWall Street.
