Wyndham Vacation Ownership Partners with Emerald Grande

Wyndham Vacation Ownership (WVO), the world’s largest vacation ownership company and a member of the Wyndham Worldwide family of companies, announced it has executed a sales and marketing agreement with Emerald Grande, LLC, its fourth fee-for-service sales model agreement overall and second to be signed in 2011. The resort will be marketed as Wyndham Vacation Resorts Emerald Grande™ at Destin. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Through this agreement, unsold vacation ownership interests will become part of CLUB WYNDHAM® Access, the company’s flexible club-based product. WVO will become the exclusive sales and marketing agent for the sale of CLUB WYNDHAM Access vacation ownership interests at Emerald Grande at HarborWalk™ Village, with sales anticipated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2011.

“Destin has always been an extremely popular destination for our owners, especially during the summer months, and we are extremely proud to welcome Emerald Grande into our portfolio of premier resorts,” said Franz Hanning, president and chief executive officer, Wyndham Vacation Ownership.

The property is also expected to operate within CLUB WYNDHAM. Plus, the company’s points-based exchange program that allows owners the flexibility to vacation at more than 70 resorts and enjoy other vacation options and access to special travel opportunities such as cruises and guided trips.

“We are pleased to be able to add the Wyndham Vacation Resorts product to our existing high quality mixed use vacation property and look forward to welcoming Wyndham owners and guests to our Emerald Grande Resort family,” said Ed McMullen, Jr., Executive Vice President, Real Estate Sales, Emerald Grande at HarborWalk Village.

Overlooking the Gulf Coast’s emerald green waters and white sugar sand beaches of Florida's panhandle, Wyndham Vacation Resorts Emerald Grande at Destin is located along Destin Harbor, the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. Resort amenities include a family-oriented water playground, full-service European spa and fitness center, indoor and outdoor heated pools, a full-service marina, world-class fishing excursions and aqua adventures, as well as numerous boutique shops, restaurants, and entertainment options situated along HarborWalk Village, one of the most photographed waterfronts in Destin.

With this latest project, WVO will continue to capitalize upon the momentum that began in March 2010 when it announced its first exclusive sales and marketing fee-for-service agreement at Wyndham Vacation Resorts Towers on the Grove at North Myrtle Beach, SC. In August 2010, the company announced the addition of Wyndham Vacation Resorts Reunion at Orlando, and most recently on Jan. 6, 2011, the company announced its entry into Vermont with the signing of a fee-for-service sales agreement for Wyndham Vacation Resorts Smugglers’ Notch Vermont near Burlington.
