In 2001, Intrawest introduced the Resort to Resort program, an exclusive exchange network for whole ownership and the emerging fractional and condo-hotel markets.

The program was well received by participating homeowners from the Intrawest resorts, which include some of the most well-known resort destinations in North America, and in 2003, recognizing the scalability of the model Intrawest took the opportunity to expand Resort to Resort to include a portfolio of carefully selected partner resorts. What was once a small project for Intrawest has seen continued growth in membership and partnerships with further opportunities on R2R’s horizon.

Dean Kneider, director of Resort to Resort, has overseen the company’s expansion in both the number of R2R properties from 47 resorts to over 200, as well as more than 14,000 extended memberships. The program’s growth isn’t slowing down as over the past few months Kneider and his business development team have solidified partnerships with an additional eight properties including:

• Taheima Wellness Resort & Spa, Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico
• DayStar Properties, Jaco Beach, Costa Rica
• VIVO Resorts, Puerto Escondido, Mexico
• Palmetto Bay, Maya Beach, Belize
• Cape Codder Residences, Hyannis, Massachusetts, USA
• 901 Fernie, Fernie, British Columbia, Canada
• Mayne Island Resort, Mayne Island, British Columbia, Canada
• Rundle Cliffs at Spring Creek Mountain Village, Canmore, Alberta, Canada

“We are thrilled to have so many diverse and exclusive properties join our network,” says Kneider. “As resort real estate continues to grow and value-added partnerships like these are offered, resort home owners get an opportunity to expand their vacation possibilities.”
