Orlando-Based Vacation Innovations Wins Best Overall Company and Best Innovation at the 2025 GNEX Vacation Industry Awards
ORLANDO, Fla., March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vacation Innovations ("VI" or the "Company"), a leading provider of travel-related products, software, and services, has been recognized with two prestigious honors at the 2025 GNEX Vacation Industry Awards, earning the titles of Best Overall Company (100 – 499 Employees) and Best Innovation for its groundbreaking Maintenance Fee Protection program.
This is the second consecutive year that VI has received the Best Overall Company distinction. This award acknowledges Vacation Innovations' excellence in leadership, innovation, employee satisfaction, corporate responsibility, and industry impact. With over 25 years of experience, the Company has continuously evolved to provide best-in-class vacation ownership solutions while fostering a workplace culture that has earned it recognition as a Top Workplace by the Orlando Sentinel for three consecutive years.
The Company also received the Best Innovation award for its popular Maintenance Fee Protection program, a first-of-its-kind initiative created to provide financial relief to timeshare owners by reimbursing maintenance fees for unused intervals or points. Since its launch in late 2022, the program has seen remarkable success, with over $5.4 million in reimbursements distributed to timeshare owners in 2024 alone—an 800% year-over-year increase. By helping owners maximize the value of their vacation investments while also supporting the financial health of timeshare owner associations, this innovation has set a new standard in the industry.
"These awards are a testament to the incredible dedication, passion, and expertise of our entire team," said Chad Newbold, CEO of Vacation Innovations. "Their hard work and commitment to innovation are what drive our success, and I could not be more grateful for the talent and effort they bring to our company every day. Our employees are at the heart of everything we do, and these achievements belong to them just as much as they do to Vacation Innovations as a whole."
Vacation Innovations continues to expand its impact within the vacation ownership industry, now serving more than 2 million members across multiple brands and working with over 2,500 affiliates and partners. The company's ongoing investments in technology, product development, and customer-centric solutions reaffirm its ongoing mission to create meaningful solutions that enhance the timeshare experience for owners, developers, and partners alike.
The GNEX Vacation Industry Awards, presented annually at the GNEX Conference, celebrate excellence and innovation across the vacation industry. The 2025 ceremony recognized top companies and professionals making significant contributions to the industry's growth and success.
