BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluegreen
Vacations, a leader in vacation ownership, recently launched its
voluntourism program with Habitat for Humanity and Deliver the
Dream. Through this initiative, owners and guests will have the
opportunity to make a positive impact on families in need while
creating meaningful vacation memories.
This fall, Bluegreen Vacations will host voluntourism
initiatives alongside Habitat for Humanity and Deliver the Dream at
The Fountains Resort in Orlando. As many as 50 owners
and Bluegreen associates will participate doing activities with
both organizations that include building homes and helping families
with disabilities.
"We are proud to partner with such distinguished organizations
to give back to the community," said Shawn
B. Pearson, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Bluegreen Vacations. "These activities will provide our
owners with opportunities for more meaningful vacation experiences
while making a difference in the lives of others."
Voluntourism is best described as tourism in which travelers do
volunteer work to help communities or the environment in the places
they are visiting.
Deliver the Dream helps families dealing with chronic illnesses
or other crises regain strength in mind and spirit. Bluegreen
Vacations recently hosted a retreat for families with children
suffering from genetic syndrome disorders on September 13-15 and will host another event on
December 6-8 benefiting veteran
families. These retreats give participants an opportunity to
relax, enjoy time together, and create a support network with
families that are coping with similar issues.
On October 4, 2019, Bluegreen
Vacations' team of volunteers working with Habitat for Humanity
will help build and repair homes in the Silver Pines area, a
developing community outside of the heart of Orlando.
The Bluegreen Vacation Club is a flexible, points based, real
estate backed vacation ownership program that leads its members to
new discoveries in exciting destinations, offering an engaging,
cost-effective way to have remarkable vacation experiences by
providing choice, flexibility and quality. Accommodations are
ideally suited to comfortably accommodate guests in a space that
feels like a home-away-from-home, with resort-style amenities and
services.
