Founded in December 1997, Tempus Resorts International is a partnership between AREA Property Partners, one of the country's leading investment and real estate fund managers, and a team of hospitality managers with over 150 years of combined experience. AREA Property Partners brings a solid foundation of financial strength to the partnership, with over $7 billion invested to date in a broad range of projects throughout the world with an aggregate value of over $30 billion. Today, Tempus Resorts International is a multi-faceted enterprise comprised of ten distinct companies which support our resort and golf development, hospitality operations, and marketing, financial and technology services. Since the inception in 1998 of our flagship Orlando resort, Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club, we've delivered memorable vacation experiences to over 650,000 guests. In summer 2008, we expanded our vacation ownership offerings to Dunes Village Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, one of the top family vacation destinations in the United States. Dunes Village is located on the "Golden Mile” of Myrtle Beach’s Grand Strand, overlooking over 650 feet of pristine Atlantic coastline. Dunes Village features spacious accommodations and unparalleled amenities, services and activities for the entire family, including Myrtle Beach’s only indoor water park. Also in 2008, we launched Tempus Select, our new exchange services program which offers our owners a wide array of internal exchange and flexible use options at Tempus Select affiliated resorts, plus worldwide exchange and other travel benefits through Interval International. We are proud to be an active member of the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), the professional association representing the vacation ownership and resort development industries.
