Phuket, Thailand (6 January 2026) — Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay, a leader in sustainable luxury hospitality, has launched its “Stingless Bee” project at its organic orchard, completing the resort’s self-sustaining ecosystem and supporting farm-to-table dining experiences.
Developed in collaboration with regeneration experts 99Hives, the project introduces colonies of stingless bees – safe and highly efficient pollinators that help improve the yield and quality of fruits, herbs, and edible flowers grown on property. These bees also produce a rare and prized honey known as pot-honey.
“The Stingless Bee project marks a significant step in our sustainability journey by improving pollination in our orchard and ensuring a more consistent, abundant, and higher-quality harvest. Our guests benefit by enjoying the freshest possible ingredients, including fruits, herbs, edible flowers, and vegetables,” said Dominic Egger, Director of Operations Thailand at Travel + Leisure Co., and General Manager of Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay.
The resort already uses stingless bee honey in its gourmet dishes, desserts, and craft cocktails across its food and beverage outlets. The honey is known for its unique flavour and purported health benefits, including being rich in antioxidants, soothing sore throats and coughs, and supporting digestive health.
Spanning 6,000 square metres, the resort’s organic orchard produces a wide variety of fruits such as pineapples, bananas, papayas, and passionfruit, alongside herbs and spices including lime, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, and citronella. Organic chickens provide farm-fresh eggs, while food scraps are composted and returned to the soil, nourishing the orchard and herb garden and completing the sustainability loop.
Enhanced pollination also supports the growth of herbs and flowers used in the resort’s farm-to-spa treatments at ZANA Spa.
Guests are invited to participate in the orchard experience by booking cooking classes with the resort’s chef, which include tours of the orchard and the opportunity to pick fresh herbs and spices for Thai dishes they prepare.
Beyond dining and wellness, the orchard also serves as a unique venue for curated events like “Stargazing Night & Local Bites,” offering guests a deeper connection to nature and local flavours with the relaxing view of Kalim Bay.
Nestled on a cliff overlooking the Andaman Sea, Wyndham Grand Phuket Kalim Bay features 194 elegant non-smoking rooms and villas, many with private infinity pools offering sweeping sea views. The resort boasts a full-service spa and wellness centre, gym, and multiple dining options. It is also part of Asia’s premier vacation club, Club Wyndham Asia, developed by Travel + Leisure Co., a leading leisure travel company providing more than six million holidays per year.
Nagano, Japan (9 December 2025) – Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shiga Kogen, a ski resort in one of Asia’s largest ski areas, has unveiled a dazzling multi-million US dollar refurbishment, transforming the property into a premium, year-round destination.
The resort’s 32 rooms have been upgraded with fresh paint, new furniture, soft furnishings, and fixtures in line with a fresh design brief. The room’s interior design balances traditional Japanese style with modern minimalism, using natural wood throughout to create a warm, earthy atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of traditional tatami mats paired with contemporary Western bedding – a hybrid design that appeals to international travellers seeking cultural authenticity and familiar comfort.
The resort’s restaurant has been revitalised, now offering a traditional Japanese and international buffet for breakfast and dinner during peak season, with a pre-set buffet available throughout the rest of the year. Guests can also enjoy the pizza bar, which will offer convenient ski-in/ski-out access during the ski season.
One-bedroom Deluxe
A new whiskey bar, featuring locally produced sake, Japanese whiskey, and craft beers, is set to open just in time for ski season, providing a stylish spot for après-ski relaxation. The resort’s onsens (hot springs) and common areas have also been upgraded for enhanced comfort and ambiance.
Ski enthusiasts will appreciate the upgraded ski shop, now equipped with state-of-the-art demo skis, snowboards, and professional repair services to meet all slope-side needs. The lobby shop will offer a curated selection of locally produced snacks and beverages, as well as essential ski gear, ensuring guests have everything they need for their winter adventure.
Ski Shop
This snow season, the resort will have onsite, English-speaking professional ski and snowboard guides, ready to assist both beginners and advanced riders. Guests are encouraged to book a guide early in their stay to explore the slopes that best suit their skill level, interests, and preferred style.
The refurbishment was a major project that began in the first summer season after the resort’s rebranding and 2024 acquisition by Travel + Leisure Co., a leading leisure travel company providing more than six million vacations to travelers around the world every year. Currently, more than 60,000 members of Club Wyndham South Pacific and Club Wyndham Asia can access the property through their clubs.
“This transformation was a strategic investment in the quality of our club members’ experiences in one of the world’s best ski destinations. By elevating every touchpoint, we’re ensuring that the alpine stay for our Club Wyndham members is not only comfortable but truly unforgettable,” said Warren Cullum, Senior Vice President Operations at Travel + Leisure Co.
Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shiga Kogen during snow season
Club Wyndham Shirakabaso Shiga Kogen gives guests access to 15 ski areas directly via gondolas, lifts, and ski courses, while three additional ski areas require a short transfer by bus or car. The only international resort in the Joshin’etsu Kogen National Park, it also offers indoor and outdoor onsens (hot spring), a sauna – perfect for winding down after a day of skiing or hiking.
An all-season destination, the surrounding park boasts pristine hiking trails through breathtaking woodlands, sweeping vistas, blue-green lakes, and dynamic volcanic formations, as well as regular sightings of golden eagles, Japanese stoats, and snow monkeys.
Shiga Kogen is the closest major ski area to Tokyo; the trip, which includes a bullet train ride to Nagano Station and a final bus leg, takes only about three hours and twenty minutes.
Gold Coast, Queensland (28 November, 2025) – Ground-breaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology combined with the support of the Gold Coast business community is bringing more than 3,000 Australians living with a devastating muscle-wasting disease within reach of life-changing treatments.
Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) is a complex and progressive genetic disease that causes muscle degeneration and, over time, slowly robs people of the ability to walk, talk and smile, then eat or blink. For a child, it can mean losing the chance to run on the beach with friends; for an adult, the heartbreak of no longer being able to smile at their family. While it has no known cure or treatment, two drug trials are currently underway in Australia and another two will begin next year.
FSHD Global Research Foundation is leading efforts to develop treatments and a cure and has launched an innovative patient-led disease registry and recently developed the world’s first disease progression model, using revolutionary AI to analyse patient samples. This model is highly accurate and has proven to be a gamechanger in determining the effect of the drugs being tested.
The foundation has never received government funding, achieving these advancements entirely through the generosity of individual donors – and the business community, through annual events like the Club Wyndham Corporate Surf Challenge on the Gold Coast.
Bruce Harkness, Senior Vice President Human Resources, Brand Communications and Customer Experience, of Travel + Leisure Co. – developer of brand sponsor, Club Wyndham – said the Gold Coast business community has shown up in force for the cause over 12 events, and did so again this year.
“Many of our teams come back year after year and are now invested in the progress being made by FSHD Global against this debilitating condition. We created this event with the purpose of supporting the foundation and are proud to have helped increase awareness about FSHD through the business community and across the region,” Mr Harkness said.
“There is now real hope of seeing meaningful improvements in the lives of those with FSHD within our lifetimes. It shows the scale of impact we can have when we unite and think creatively about supporting worthy causes as a community,” he added.
This year’s event raised tens of thousands of dollars for the foundation, with Gold Coast-based professional surfer, Isabella Nichols, agreeing to be auctioned for one business team. Nicols is currently rated number six on the World Surfing League tour and, earlier in the year, won the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach.
Emma Weatherley, Managing Director of the FSHD Global Research Foundation with members of the FSHD team
Businesses including Club Wyndham, Coastal Real Estate, Bebek Constructions, SJS Customs, Ecolab, Frazer Financial, Higgins, Ray White Surfers Paradise, Harvey Norman, Bond Uni, Our Vacation Centre and Bunzl offered their support. What began as a local surf event has grown into a flagship Gold Coast fundraiser, showing how business leaders can directly accelerate medical breakthroughs.
“Every wave surfed and every dollar raised takes us closer to the day no family has to hear that FSHD has no cure. We are not waiting for government funding – we are driving this forward with the support of the business community and the public,” said Emma Weatherley, Managing Director of FSHD Global Research Foundation.
“While we cannot yet put a date on a cure, we are confident that therapies to stop or slow disease progression could emerge from clinical trials within the next five years. Fundraising has enabled us to access the latest AI advances and, as the technology evolves, we expect even greater breakthroughs,” she added.

The Club Wyndham Corporate Surf Challenge was held at The Spit, Main Beach, on 28 November. Teams will compete in elimination rounds, with winners progressing to the semifinals and others battling for a second chance in the repechage to reach the final.

GOLD COAST (26 NOVEMBER, 2025) – Travel + Leisure Co. is celebrating a major industry honour, with Leanne Charles, Vice President of Finance and Financial Controller South Pacific, at the company’s Gold Coast Corporate office, winning Finance Associate of the Year award at the HM Magazine Hotel Management Awards.
The HM Awards are one of the South Pacific’s most prestigious hospitality awards, attracting more than 1,800 nominations annually.
During the last 12 months, Ms Charles has provided strategic financial leadership across the South Pacific region, supporting the evolving business demands of Travel + Leisure Co., the world’s leading vacation ownership company. She led the financial integration of the recently acquired Accor Vacation Club and played a central role in due diligence and the purchase of two new properties and vacation ownership interests in 11 destinations for Club Wyndham South Pacific, one of the region’s leading vacation clubs.
“Leanne is a long-serving associate who has consistently delivered outstanding results, and has been repeatedly recognised by her peers within the business. Thanks to her collaborative and solutions-driven approach, she has played a pivotal role in further strengthening the financial performance of our South Pacific portfolio,” said Liam Crawley, Chief Financial Officer, Vacation Clubs (International Region), Travel + Leisure Co.
“Leanne is an excellent leader who is passionate about developing top talent from within her team. She is a dedicated mentor and an inspiring example for the next generation of finance leaders in the hospitality industry,” he added.
Leanne Charles
Ms Charle’s influence at Travel + Leisure Co. extends beyond finance. She is a committed advocate for the Women in Travel (WIT) Diversity Resource Group (DRG), which empowers female associates through professional development and networking opportunities, and ally of the Pride International DRG, promoting an inclusive culture for LGBTQIA+ associates.
Travel + Leisure Co. was also recognised in the Sales Associate category, where Club Wyndham South Pacific sales representative Nakita Feranandes was awarded a Highly Commended.
Travel + Leisure Co. is a leading leisure travel company, providing more than six million holidays to travellers around the world every year. In the Asia Pacific region, the company oversees approximately 100 properties and operates four vacation ownership clubs under the Club Wyndham and Accor Vacation Club brands.

Sydney, Australia, 14 November 2025: Travel + Leisure Co. is reinventing what it means to “own a holiday home” in Australia. The company’s innovative vacation ownership model offers travellers greater flexibility, distinct branded offerings, and fewer obligations than traditional holiday home and fixed-week timeshare concepts.
Leading the shift is Barry Robinson, President and Managing Director, International Operations, Travel + Leisure Co., who oversees the company’s growth outside the US.
“In Australia, holidaymakers want choice, mobility and access, not an inflexible model where they stay at the same place every year,” says Robinson. “We’ve built a vacation ownership model that adapts to the way people travel today, under trusted brands they recognise.”
“In today’s inflationary economy, travellers are re-evaluating the vacation ownership concept with a fresh perspective. The compelling value proposition resonates with those prioritising stability and affordability in their holiday plans.”
“When you take regular holidays, the cost of hotel accommodation can add up quickly. On the other hand, our members use the same number of points to book the same suite today as they will in 10 or 20 years’ time, and this can translate to significant savings over time,” says Robinson.
Vacation ownership is driving growth in Australia and beyond
The model behind the shift is a club-based or shared ownership model rather than a full property purchase, enabling more Australians to participate in owning their holidays without the heavy burden of solo real estate investment.
In Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region, Travel + Leisure Co. sees growing demand as travellers embrace club-based, points-based and membership-based ownership structures rather than the obligations that come with a holiday home. The company’s club portfolio in the region already serves well over 100,000 members, with more than half of its over 100 resorts located in Australia.
“Australian members have access to premium holiday resorts, under premium brands, but with flexibility and shared cost,” Robinson explains. “We have built a model where you don’t have to holiday the same week, in the same suite, year after year. You have the freedom to choose – and value that holds.”
Members have access to an enviable range of club destinations, apartment configurations from studio to Presidential, and the ability to book year-round.
Club Wyndham Bellinzona Hepburn Springs, Daylesford
Strong brand alignment with trusted global hospitality names
A major differentiator of the Travel + Leisure Co. model is that vacation ownership is aligned with globally recognised brands. This brand-forward approach ensures vacation ownership is integrated with trusted hospitality standards, design, service, and global travel options.
The acquisition of Accor Vacation Club in 2024 means that Travel + Leisure Co. now manages its 24 club resorts across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia and serves nearly 30,000 members. With the backing of the Accor hotel portfolio (including Novotel, Mercure, Peppers, Sebel and more), members benefit from brand recognition, access to premium apartment-style accommodation in well-located resorts, the upscale experiences they would expect at an Accor property and, for eligible members, the ability to utilise the Accor portfolio across the world.
Meanwhile, the vacation ownership model under Club Wyndham South Pacific offers outstanding service, properties and experiences tailored around members living their bucket lists and, for eligible members, access to the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts portfolio.
Members from either club may purchase a membership with a vacation exchange company, and exchange their points to stay at thousands of vacation ownership properties worldwide and access other travel benefits and products.
“By aligning with strong hospitality brands, we give members access to quality resorts, global standards and personalised experiences, while still offering the innovation of a club membership model,” says Robinson.
Club Wyndham Mission Beach
Constant renovations and expansion to ensure highest standards for members
Each club continually re-invests back in its properties, with regular upgrades, refurbishments and new additions. As club membership grows, so too does the portfolio of resorts.
The recent acquisition of the historic Hotel Bellinzona in Daylesford – the 68th resort in the Club Wyndham South Pacific portfolio – is an example of the ambitious kind of expansion Travel + Leisure Co. targets.
“Daylesford is the heartland of wellness in Australia, and this strategic move gives our members access to a destination long favoured by travellers seeking health experiences,” says Robinson.
This comes after the business acquired the former Castaways Resort & Spa in Mission Beach, currently undergoing a refurbishment and rebrand to Club Wyndham Mission Beach. The absolute beachfront property boasts 48 studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and loft-style apartments with two pools, a restaurant, bar and day spa.
Continual refurbishment of club properties, whether under Accor or Club Wyndham, ensures the highest standards for members. The Group recently completed upgrades of The Sebel Melbourne Flinders Lane, Club Wyndham Torquay, and The Vines Resort in the Swan Valley.
“We continually refurbish our properties to ensure members enjoy a fresh, contemporary experience with every stay in club accommodation,” says Robinson.
Developers Discover New Value in Vacation Ownership
Developers are increasingly searching for higher yield from their assets, and they are finding mixed-use properties incorporating vacation ownership have appeal and practical value. As Travel + Leisure Co. gears up for future expansion, Robinson says a key source of growth will be developers and property owners experiencing how the vacation ownership model can benefit them.
“We purchase vacation ownership apartments upfront, and this provides developers a welcome cash injection to begin their projects. When vacation ownership is part of an operating hotel or resort, members contribute to the ongoing operating costs through levies, and a portion of levies is allocated to regular renewal of common spaces.
“With occupancies averaging 90 per cent across our club portfolios, vacation ownership helps maximise revenue streams for food and beverage outlets, retail and other onsite businesses,” Robinson added. “And, in fact, in many places where we operate, because our members stay longer and vacation slower, the destination itself benefits from year-round visitation and higher spend.”
“Vacation ownership serves as a key part of many successful mixed-use developments, alongside hotel inventory and branded residences. Even in our established markets, the benefits of vacation ownership are just beginning to be realised,” said Robinson.
