What is C.A.R.E.?
C.A.R.E. is a trade association established in 1985 by representatives of timeshare resorts who found that by
exchanging vacation inventory among themselves, they were better able to satisfy their owners with increased vacation
opportunities.
C.A.R.E. is not an exchange company, it does not own or control inventory or guarantee fulfillment of travel requests, and/or
rental or sale of any type of inventory, service or product.
