In 1997, a visionary group of resort developers and RCI laid the foundation for the All India Resort Development Association (AIRDA) — an independent body created to support the nascent vacation ownership industry in India and work hand‑in‑hand with both promoters and end‑customers.
Today, AIRDA stands united behind ethics, transparency, and fair value for customers. Our members represent a wide cross‑section of the industry — from single‑resort operators to groups with properties in India and across the world.
AIRDA — an association redefining the vacation ownership sector in India
What does an AIRDA membership mean to resort owners and developers? AIRDA comes in as your industry partner, conscience keeper and business catalyst - with a wide portfolio of support services.
What does AIRDA mean to holiday seekers and prospective customers? AIRDA comes in to provide information and offer guidelines on making the right timeshare decisions.
The building blocks at AIRDA aim to create a value base around "timeshare" reflecting an image of trust and professionalism. With core strategy inputs from members, AIRDA has formulated fair business practices to protect the interests of members and end-customers.
We are also committed to elevating "timeshare" to the level of a key business driver for domestic tourism and vacation ownership - thereby increasing awareness of opportunities and geographies. This helps existing players visualize platforms for growth and expansion, and new entrants make viable project investments.
