CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF VACATIONS
It was 1984 when Marriott Vacation Club® got its start on Hilton Head Island as part of Marriott International, becoming the first major hospitality branded vacation club to enter the timeshare industry. This company milestone deserves to be celebrated — and we will. Our festivities will also be about cherishing the triumphs of our associates, the joys of our Owners and guests, and supporting the communities in which we live, work, and play.
