Orlando, Florida – February 7, 2017 – INTUITION – Considered to be one of the highest accolades in the timeshare industry, the Perspective Magazine Awards program was launched in 2011 as the only global recognition program of its kind.
This year marked the 7th annual awards, where nominees entered to win one of 28 different awards. Winners were determined by a panel of four judges along with online votes from the public where each judge represented 20 percent of the nominee’s overall score and the public vote accounted for the remaining 20 percent.
“The combination of a judging panel that does not confer and the online voting portion not only creates incredible exposure and company-wide camaraderie for the nominees, but also provides the most independent results of any other awards program within the industry,” says Paul Mattimoe, President & CEO, Perspective Group.
This year’s award winners were announced during the GNEX Conference in San Francisco, at its Finale Party sponsored by DAE.
