The event serves as a platform for industry networking and fundraising for hospitality education. DuChamp noted, "Vacatia is excited to be part of this important event, which aligns with our mission to support the growth and development of the vacation ownership industry."

The tournament, a collaboration between the ARDA-Hawaii chapter and the American Resort Development Association, aims to foster a community of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the vacation ownership and resort development industries. ARDA-Hawaii, which focuses on legislative advocacy, education, and professional development, continues to play a vital role in shaping the industry.
