GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA (MARCH 26, 2025) – Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE:TNL), a leading leisure travel company, has collected two major awards at the annual GNEX Conference Vacation Industry Awards, a prestigious international recognition program in the vacation ownership industry.
The company’s Legal and Compliance Team won the Best Legal Services Award – the ninth consecutive time the team or a member of the team has won – while President and Managing Director, International Operations, Barry Robinson, was named Industry Game Changer.
The company’s in-house Legal and Compliance Team, domiciled across Australia, China, and the Philippines, received the award for its work last year overseeing compliance in the 14 markets where the business operates, onboarding 16 new properties, and the recent launch of Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific.

Robinson – who has led the business for 23 years – was recognised for groundbreaking ideas that have shaped not just the company, but the entire industry, including:
- Mixed-use vacation ownership developments
- The launch of shorter-term vacation ownership clubs with flexible conditions around the payment of annual levies
- Enhanced benefits programs, enabling members to travel around the world using their vacation ownership
- Customer experience improvements through enhanced service, workplace culture, and refurbished product
“We are honoured to once again be recognised at the GNEX Conference Vacation Industry Awards by our industry colleagues. Winning these two awards is a testament to the strength of our leadership, and our desire to go beyond for our owners, members, guests, and each other every day,” said Senior Vice President, Human Resources and Customer Experience, Bruce Harkness.
“The unprecedented run of our Legal and Compliance team indicates the high esteem in which they are held internationally, while Barry’s award is a deserved recognition for his tireless contribution to the industry and his continued push to innovate vacation ownership as travel preferences evolve,” he added.

Travel + Leisure Co. International is a team of close to 6,000 associates who manage a portfolio of more than 100 hotels and resorts and develop four vacation clubs: Club Wyndham South Pacific, Club Wyndham Asia, Accor Vacation Club, and Accor Vacation Club Asia Pacific.
