Travel + Leisure Co. Takes Home 18 ARDA Awards at Annual Conference, Including Prestigious ACE Philanthropic Award<\/b><\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Travel + Leisure Co.<\/a> (NYSE:TNL), a leading vacation ownership and membership travel company, today announced it was honored with a total of 18 awards at the annual American Resort Development Association (ARDA) Spring Conference. The company wins included the prestigious ARDA ACE Philanthropic Award<\/b> for the Travel + Leisure Co. Wyndham Championship Team.\n<\/p>\n

\nAs a sponsor of the Wyndham Championship \u2013 and in partnership with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts as part of the Wyndham Rewards umbrella \u2013 Travel + Leisure Co. saw an opportunity to elevate the annual golf tournament through a historic, multi-year philanthropic initiative. In 2023, the company announced it would sponsor and spearhead the creation of a mural at Gillespie Golf Course, where the tournament is held, in honor of the Greensboro Six<\/a>, whose courage ultimately changed the rules of segregation and golf in North Carolina. One year later, the mural was unveiled to a group of 300 spectators at the 2024 Wyndham Championship. Its presence on the course will continue to serve as an opportunity to educate visitors for generations to come and commemorate those who tried to right an egregious wrong.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe ARDA Spring Conference creates an annual opportunity for our industry to unite, celebrate our shared achievements, and honor the incredible contributions of our teams and individual associates,\u201d said Michael Brown, president and CEO of Travel + Leisure Co. \u201cOur 18 award winners, along with our 61 finalists, represent the best of the best who help promote our mission to put the world on vacation and foster hospitality with heart.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe company also received the Employee Engagement Campaign Award <\/b>for its One Heartbeat Initiative \u2013 a campaign designed to drive alignment between Resort Operations, Sales, and Marketing by celebrating collaboration and recognizing teams that embody the spirit of partnership. The campaign not only boosted employee morale and culture-building but also led to impressive guest experience score results. Originally intended as a short-term initiative, One Heartbeat\u2019s success has led to a plan to fully operationalize the initiative and deploy its best practices to other areas of the organization.\n<\/p>\n

\nAdditional ARDA Awards were presented to top teams, projects and individuals representing the company\u2019s Vacation Ownership and Travel and Membership segments, as well as its corporate initiatives:\n<\/p>\n
