This incremental topline growth reflects a meaningful contribution from Interval International's new products and services, strong results at Aston and Trading Places and the addition of Vacation Resorts International, our most recent acquisition. Average revenue per Interval Network member is at a five-year high, while Platinum membership and Club Interval Gold products are being adopted by our developer clients at an impressive rate."
