Executive Summary
Vacation Ownership Advisors (VOA Worldwide) is transforming how travelers interact with their vacation ownership assets. While VOA provides the expert guidance that helps members navigate their ownership portfolio, they needed a robust technical infrastructure to turn those memberships into actual, effortless travel experiences. By partnering with Xeni, VOA has integrated a powerful travel booking marketplace, wholesale rate access, and an automated customer communication engine—delivering a high-end experience from the first search to the final confirmation.
The Challenge: Bridging the Gap Between Ownership and Travel
For many timeshare and vacation ownership members, the biggest hurdle isn't just owning the "points"—it's the friction involved in turning those points into real-world travel. VOA Worldwide faced a three-fold technical challenge:
- Marketplace Access: Providing members with a reliable booking engine that offers competitive, wholesale-rate inventory.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlining the booking process to avoid manual, labor-intensive workflows.
- Customer Communication: Ensuring that as soon as a booking is made, members receive timely, automated, and professional communication regarding their travel details.
The Solution: Xeni as the Fulfillment Engine
To solve these challenges, VOA Worldwide integrated Xeni's comprehensive travel technology suite. By leveraging Xeni's platform, VOA successfully automated the fulfillment side of their business, allowing them to focus on member advisory while Xeni handles the complex logistics of global travel bookings.
How Xeni Powers the VOA Experience
- Wholesale Travel Inventory: Xeni provides VOA with a direct pipeline to wholesale rates, allowing VOA to offer their members pricing that is exclusive, transparent, and significantly more competitive than public retail sites.

- Automated Communication Management: Xeni's integrated messaging system ensures that once a booking is confirmed, the member receives automated updates, confirmations, and essential trip information, reducing the burden on VOA's support team and elevating the member's experience.
