Travel Club.
In a nutshell, we make it possible to travel more, for less.
In 1996, we started this company with one simple goal - to get people traveling. Since then our travel club Global Discovery Vacations, our suite of travel club products, has grown to almost 200,000 members and we are proud to be making travel a normal part of life for thousands of families!
Through the GDV travel club membership portfolio of products, members have access to a variety of travel club benefits from worldwide condo destinations to discounted cruises and guided tours with our long list of preferred industry partners. Our product lineup includes an entry-level online travel club, a multi-level club and a VIP club, giving distributors the best travel club products to sell and even white label.

Resort Development.
The cornerstone to the success of our vacation club is the ability to provide consistent access to quality condominiums in the most popular resort destination areas across the globe.
Since 2004, we’ve been developing resorts and refurbishing, reconfiguring or building vacation accommodations to attract a valued traveler. Using the extensive knowledge of travel habits acquired over years of fulfilling the travel club membership, our experts are able to choose desirable locations and create the right environment for travelers.
Four of our resorts are currently owned and operated by our GCI team. Winners of TripAdvisor awards and many accolades over the years, our resorts are most always occupied by members and retail guests alike. We are proud to share!
