1. Our Community Continues To Grow
HGV has expanded significantly over the past five years, thanks to two major acquisitions: Diamond Resorts in 2021 and Bluegreen Vacations in 2024. These additions bring even more Owners and Members into the HGV family and expand our resort portfolio around the world. With this growth comes major benefits: more value, flexibility and more ways to travel than ever before.
