No, VOA Worldwide is not a travel club.

VOA is a Portfolio Management and Concierge company designed to bridge the gap and eliminate the disconnect often experienced in the vacation ownership industry. Our primary focus is to help members better use, understand, and maximize the value of their vacation ownership, travel memberships, and reward programs. We do this by providing personalized support that goes beyond what traditional travel clubs offer.

While a travel club typically offers limited booking services within a fixed network, VOA takes a comprehensive approach by managing your entire travel portfolio. This includes:

  • Vacation Ownership Optimization: We ensure that you’re getting the most value from your ownership by helping you understand how to effectively use your points or weeks, manage maintenance fees, and explore exchange options that might otherwise go unnoticed.
  • Travel Reward Program Management: We assist in managing your airline miles, hotel loyalty points, and credit card rewards, advising you on when and where to use them for the best possible value. Our goal is to ensure that no rewards go unused or undervalued.
  • Concierge-Level Travel Booking: VOA has the ability to book hotels, resorts, activities, car rentals, cruises, flights, and more—all at exclusive member pricing. These rates often surpass what’s available through standard ownership programs or public travel sites, giving you more options and better deals when planning your vacations.

 

What sets VOA apart is our proactive approach. We don’t wait for you to contact us—we actively identify opportunities to enhance your travel experiences. Whether it’s notifying you about point expirations, securing limited-time offers, or recommending destinations based on your preferences, our team is always working behind the scenes to ensure you’re getting the most out of your membership.

In short, VOA is more than a booking service. We are your travel partner and advisor, dedicated to making every aspect of your vacation ownership and travel portfolio work seamlessly together, so you can focus on creating unforgettable memories.

 

Membership with VOA Worldwide is exclusively granted through partnerships with our affiliated companies. To become a VOA member, you must join one of our partner organizations with whom we have established agreements.

This approach allows us to provide personalized, high-value services tailored to the specific needs of each partner’s members, ensuring a more comprehensive and seamless travel experience.

If you’re interested in becoming a VOA member, we recommend reaching out to one of our partner companies to learn more about their offerings and how VOA’s services are integrated into their membership programs.

VOA Worldwide is not a replacement for your vacation ownership program—it’s an enhancement. While your vacation ownership program focuses primarily on the properties, points, or weeks you’ve purchased, VOA Worldwide is designed to manage your entire travel portfolio, giving you access to more options, greater flexibility, and a personalized travel experience that goes beyond what your current ownership offers.

Here’s how VOA Worldwide stands out:

  • Access to More Travel Options:
    Unlike traditional vacation ownership programs that may limit you to specific resorts, exchange networks, or booking windows, VOA gives you access to a broader range of travel options. We can book hotels, resorts, cruises, car rentals, activities, and flights—all at exclusive member pricing. This means you’re not restricted to the inventory within your ownership program, giving you greater freedom when planning your vacations.

  • Proactive, Relationship-Focused Service:
    Our team doesn’t just respond to requests—we proactively reach out to ensure you’re maximizing your ownership and travel benefits. We build lasting relationships with our members, getting to know your preferences, travel goals, and unique needs. This allows us to offer personalized recommendations and solutions that truly enhance your experience.

  • No Sales, No Upgrades—Just Support:
    Unlike many vacation ownership programs that focus on upselling or encouraging additional purchases, VOA’s role is purely supportive. We’re not here to sell you more ownership or push upgrades. Our goal is to help you get the most value from what you already own, ensuring that your vacations are seamless, stress-free, and cost-effective.

  • Maximizing Your Entire Travel Portfolio:
    We don’t just manage your timeshare or vacation ownership—we manage your entire travel portfolio. This includes helping you make the most of your credit card rewards, airline miles, hotel loyalty programs, and other travel-related memberships. We’ll show you how to combine these benefits strategically to save money, unlock exclusive perks, and enhance your travel experiences.

  • Enhanced Vacation Ownership Experience:
    VOA is committed to providing a five-star concierge experience that transforms how you view vacation ownership. By bridging the gap between your ownership program and your broader travel needs, we ensure that every trip you take feels like a luxury, regardless of the destination.

In short, VOA Worldwide exists to be your trusted travel advisor and concierge, helping you navigate the complexities of vacation ownership while offering more options, more value, and more support than you’d receive from your ownership program alone.
