A subsidiary of Interval Leisure Group (ILG) has
acquired a 50-percent interest in Great Destinations.
Led by timeshare industry veteran Andy Gennuso, the
California-based company is a fee-for-service, real-
estate brokerage firm. It specializes in reselling resort
timeshare properties on behalf of independent home-
owners’ associations at legacy resorts.
Great Destinations has worked for the past three
years, marketing and selling thousands of timeshare
intervals at price points that offer value to consumers.
A Club Interval Gold membership is part of each
sale, giving new purchasers the opportunity to
exchange on a points basis through the Interval
International resort network.
“Great Destinations shares our commitment to the
ongoing success of legacy resorts,” says Craig M.
Nash, ILG chairman, president, and CEO. “ILG has
been working to provide properties that are managed
by VRI and TPI solutions to the challenge of finding
buyers of defaulted inventory. A robust distribution
vehicle, such as Great Destinations, strengthens
resorts’ financial condition by adding maintenance
fee–paying customers to their roster of owners.”
