Holiday Inn Club Vacations

What Holiday Inn Club Vacations does

Holiday Inn Club Vacations is a privately held vacation ownership (timeshare) company headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operating a network of 22 resorts across the United States and the Mexican Caribbean. The company traces its origins to 1982, when Holiday Inn founder Kemmons Wilson opened the flagship Orange Lake Resort near Walt Disney World, and continues to operate under a brand license from IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group). Its core product is the vacation ownership interval, sold directly to consumers at resort properties, supplemented by an employee benefit program (ClubGo) and an expanding premium accommodation line that includes luxury six-bedroom homes completed at Orange Lake Resort in 2025.

The business model combines one-time timeshare acquisition fees with recurring annual maintenance fees, producing a subscription-like revenue base tied to an installed owner base. The company sells through resort-based direct sales teams at properties such as Orange Lake Resort, Desert Club Resort, Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort, and Cape Canaveral Beach Resort, targeting families and individuals seeking structured vacation ownership experiences. Customer-facing recruitment and employer branding are supported through a corporate careers portal, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Glassdoor.

Recent strategic activity indicates a transition phase: a new CEO (Jim Mikolaichik) was appointed effective December 1, 2025, and former CEO Mike Flaskey joined the board; the company is divesting Apple Mountain Golf Club in Georgia (auction January 2026); and it won multiple 2026 ARDA Awards across sales, marketing, resort operations, HR, and special events. There are no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, technology integrations, or funding rounds in the available data, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 5,001–10,000 people and is incorporated as Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated.
