Award-winning publication continues to inspire travel and deepen member engagement through innovative storytelling and new multimedia initiatives
ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 5, 2025) – Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (NYSE:HGV), the premier vacation ownership and experiences company, is proud to announce that its flagship publication, Club Traveler, has received multiple industry awards — underscoring its growing impact as a source of inspiration and connection for HGV’s more than 720,000 members and owners.
The magazine earned 15 Florida Magazine Association Charlie Awards, including six first-place wins, and was recognized with Folio’s Ozzie Award for Section Design, in addition to being a finalist in 14 categories. These honors reflect Club Traveler’s excellence in editorial, design and digital innovation — and its evolving role in helping members dream, plan and experience unforgettable vacations with HGV.
“Club Traveler is more than a magazine — it’s a gateway to incredible HGV destinations,” said Derek De Salvia, executive vice president and chief customer officer at Hilton Grand Vacations. “Through compelling storytelling and new formats like our ‘Local Picks’ video series, we’re helping members discover new experiences, deepen their connection to our brand and plan memorable vacations.”
Presented by the Florida Magazine Association (FMA), the Charlie Awards celebrate excellence in writing, editing, graphic design, digital media and photography among Florida-based publications. Club Traveler competed in the Consumer category against publications with a circulation exceeding 20,000. The Eddies & Ozzies Awards, presented by Folio, recognize editorial and design excellence across the national magazine industry, spotlighting creativity and innovation in publishing.
“We’ve built Club Traveler around the voices of our members,” said Raquel Filipek, vice president of consumer communications and editor-in-chief of Club Traveler. “By spotlighting what our members love, where they go and why they return, we help inspire the next trip and strengthen their connection to HGV. This recognition reflects the innovative, high-quality experiences we aim to share in every issue.”
In addition to its award-winning print and digital editions, Club Traveler is expanding its reach through multimedia initiatives like “Local Picks” — a new video series featuring insider recommendations from local experts at HGV destinations. From hidden gems and dining hotspots to unique activities, the series helps members make the most of every vacation and brings the magazine’s editorial spirit to life in a dynamic new format.
The publication also collaborates with a talented roster of creatives, including award-winning photographers, writers and illustrators from around the world.
In early 2026, Club Traveler will participate in the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, introducing an on-site activation to showcase the magazine. The experience will feature interactive elements, exclusive content previews and opportunities for members and guests to engage with the stories, destinations and creators behind Club Traveler — further deepening the connection between content and community.
