together informally to provide an extra level of service and additional
vacation fulfillment opportunities to their owners, met in New Orleans,
LA to officially form the organization (Cooperative
Association of Resort Exchangers). Today, C.A.R.E.’s membership numbers
more than 120 member companies comprised of Resorts, Developers, Management
and Exchange Companies, Travel Clubs, HOA’s, Wholesalers and Service Providers.
Members not only provide each other with opportunities for vacation fulfillment,
but offer enhanced revenue opportunities through increased inventory utilization
and yield management.
