Gaetan Babin said, “CRTA Members provide developers and consumers of vacation ownership products informed advice, sound intelligence and advocacy. Our Board represents professionals from all different sectors of our industry as do our members at large. With this new energy we are all ready to create fresh opportunities for our members and Canadian timeshare owners.

“As Warren says in our latest video, CRTA fosters an environment of collaboration amongst its members.  HOA boards—particularly those from legacy resorts– are particularly challenged to find paths to keep timeshare viable and our organization can provide options and resources assist them.”

The first CRTA Conversation featured Paul Mattimoe, CEO/Intuition Marketing who sits on the CRTA Board and also runs the GNEX series of conferences for the Timeshare Industry.  The next GNEX-CRTA event will be held at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac, Quebec City, Canada August 29-31, 2003.  The GNEX-CRTA conference is known for creating a  positive environment for the acquisition of new business

CRTA’s  membership base consists of Resorts, Timeshares, Vacation Clubs, Developers, HOAs, Exchange Companies, Management Companies, Financial Servicing Companies, Resale Companies, Marketing Companies, Suppliers as well as other Industry Associations and Professionals who offer their services within the industry.
