Travel Club.
In a nutshell, we make it possible to travel more, for less.
In 1996, we started this company with one simple goal - to get people traveling. Since then our travel club Global Discovery Vacations, our suite of travel club products, has grown to almost 200,000 members and we are proud to be making travel a normal part of life for thousands of families!
Through the GDV travel club membership portfolio of products, members have access to a variety of travel club benefits from worldwide condo destinations to discounted cruises and guided tours with our long list of preferred industry partners. Our product lineup includes an entry-level online travel club, a multi-level club and a VIP club, giving distributors the best travel club products to sell and even white label.

Inventory & Partnership Solutions.
Trusted, comprehensive inventory and partnership solutions that build trust, boost revenue and secure long-term success. For developers and management companies, we maximize occupancy and revenue across every season through our exclusive supplier network and multi-channel distribution. For HOAs and distressed resorts — facing rising assessments, an aging owner base or an approaching sunset clause — we deliver a structured path forward that stabilizes operations, recovers non-performing inventory and protects your bottom line.
Maximize Every Night.
Unlock your property’s full revenue potential through our exclusive supplier network and multi-channel distribution — no OTA dependency required.
- Lease Program: We lease your inventory at a fixed weekly or monthly rate regardless of season — your units produce revenue all year, not just in peak periods.
- Diverse Channels: Move inventory via wholesale weeks, club allocations and brand-safe private distribution to long-standing club families — beyond traditional OTAs.
- Dynamic Revenue: Optimize RevPAR and ADR through automated pricing and strict rate-parity management across 7-night and off-peak stays — keeping revenue strong when demand softens.
- Travel Club Enhancement: Bundle our club product alongside timeshare sales to add ancillary value, strengthen close rates and convert inventory into flexible rental opportunities.
- Decades of Expertise: Firsthand experience in operations, inventory management and hoteliers — applied to maximizing your inventory and driving year-round performance.
A Smarter Path Forward.
Facing financial distress, an aging owner base, or a sunset clause quickly approaching? We provide structured solutions that protect your HOA and give owners a real alternative.
- Owner Exit & Deed-Back: We partner with HOAs to enroll departing owners into our travel club, releasing them from their deed cleanly — no burden left behind.
- Distressed Resort Recovery: High maintenance fees, unpaid assessments and an aging owner base — GCI steps in to stabilize operations and restore financial footing.
- Sunset Clause & Conversion Planning: When a resort approaches its end-of-life, we provide a structured path forward — transitioning owners into our travel club and converting legacy inventory into flexible, rentable product.
- Asset Recovery: Offload non-performing fee units, bad debt inventory and deed-back weeks through proven exit strategies that restore HOA financial health.
- HOA Revenue Partnerships: Guaranteed revenue models and HOA partnerships engineered to stabilize assessments and improve your bottom line year over year.
No OTA dependency required. Through our exclusive supplier network, club allocations and brand-safe private distribution, we move inventory and protect HOA financial health — building trust that leads to lasting partnerships where we all succeed, grow and prosper.
