Direct peers

• Marriott Vacations Worldwide: Marriott Vacations Worldwide (NYSE: VAC) is a leading timeshare operator under the Marriott, Westin, Sheraton, and Ritz-Carlton brands, with a points-based ownership model, Interval International exchange network, and similar high-FICO consumer financing approach. Direct competitor in the US vacation ownership market with overlapping resort destinations and customer demographics.
• Disney Vacation Club: Disney Vacation Club (part of The Walt Disney Company) is a vacation ownership club operating at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and other Disney destinations, using a points-based ownership system. Direct competitor in lifestyle-branded timeshare with high customer affinity, comparable ARDA member, and similar premium pricing structure.
• Hilton Grand Vacations: Hilton Grand Vacations (NYSE: HGV) is a direct competitor in timeshare and vacation ownership, operating Hilton- and Marriott-branded vacation clubs with a comparable points-based ownership model, in-house consumer financing, and exchange network. Shares the same customer base (US timeshare buyers) and is the most direct comparable to Travel + Leisure Co.'s Club Wyndham and WorldMark brands.
• Bluegreen Vacations: Bluegreen Vacations (now part of Hilton Grand Vacations following its 2024 acquisition by HGV) was an independent publicly traded timeshare operator with a comparable points-based ownership model, Bass Pro and outdoor-themed resorts, and similar US-centric vacation ownership customer base. Direct competitive overlap with Travel + Leisure Co.'s US vacation ownership business.
• Interval International: Interval International (owned by Marriott Vacations Worldwide) is the principal competitor to TNL's RCI vacation exchange network, offering timeshare exchange services to member resorts and owners globally. Direct competitor in vacation exchange subscription revenue, with comparable resort-affiliate network and member subscription business model.

Broad incumbents

• Expedia Group: Expedia Group (NASDAQ: EXPE) operates Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, and Travel + Leisure magazine's online editorial (under licensing from Dotdash Meredith) and competes with TNL's Extra Holidays rentals marketplace, Travel + Leisure GO subscription club, and broader travel booking offerings. Comparable in online travel distribution, vacation rentals, and travel media.
• Wyndham Hotels & Resorts: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) is the sister company post-2018 spin-off, operating the broader Wyndham hotel franchising business with 9,000+ hotels. While TNL owns the vacation ownership/timeshare side, the two share brand DNA and a hotel-brand licensing relationship, and Wyndham's hotel franchising scale sets context for TNL's resort operations and brand-licensing economics.
• Booking Holdings: Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) is the parent of Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, KAYAK, and OpenTable — broad online travel agency platforms with overlapping distribution, lodging inventory, and travel membership (Booking Rewards, Genius) that compete with TNL's Travel + Leisure GO, Extra Holidays, and Travel + Leisure For Business offerings.

Emerging players

• Airbnb: Airbnb (NASDAQ: ABNB) is the global alternative accommodation platform with broad consumer awareness that indirectly competes with TNL's vacation rental offerings and competes for share of US discretionary travel spend. While not a direct timeshare competitor, Airbnb's flexible lodging model and growing experiences offering overlap with TNL's resort, exchange, and travel club value proposition.

Regional players

• Carnival Corporation: Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL) is the world's largest cruise company, an adjacent leisure travel competitor for discretionary vacation dollars. RCI includes 30+ cruise line partnerships connecting TNL members to cruise inventory; Carnival competes for the same leisure travel wallet and represents a benchmark for global leisure travel economics.
