Global Vacation Club - Directors
It is a great honor to be servicing so many families and taking care of their vacations. That’s what we set out to do when the club was launched onto the open market. Since then we have seen tremendous growth and continue to thrive. The vacation industry has changed dramatically over the last 30 years and our dream was to take things in a new direction. We have done that, which has brought forward more control over vacation ownership to the customer. A thing we felt was truly needed. Less restrictions and more importantly greater savings and choice.
GVCs Board of Directors have a wealth of experience in the hospitality and holiday ownership sector spanning a combined total of over 80 years. GVC has purposely been designed to cater for the 21st century discerning traveller, who commands quality accommodation as well as a wide variety of destinations and cultural experiences to cherish.
GVC is proud to be one of the world’s most diverse and unique holiday concepts where members and their loved ones can enjoy countless unique club features, such as our “2 Vacations 1 Voyage” plus an endless array of far reaching jewels to discover.
Welcome to our world, where the Voyage never ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is Holiday Ownership/Points Ownership?
A. Holiday Ownership/Points ownership provides you with the right-to-use of an apartment/townhouse/hotel room at a Global Vacation Club resort. In simple terms, Holiday Ownership/Points ownership allows you to purchase your resort accommodation at a fraction of whole ownership costs. You “own” your holiday unit for the period that you’ve purchased and pay an annual maintenance fee. During the rest of the year, other families enjoy the accommodation for their holidays, thereby sharing the cost of your holiday home.
Q. How much will my GVC Points cost?
A. Prices vary depending on the number of points purchased. GVC have set a Recommended Retail Price (RRP) to avoid inflated pricing that can be checked by asking the Vendor for the GVC License which outlines the RRP pricing policies.
