ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 27, 2026--

Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE: TNL), a leading leisure travel company, today announced a new video series with television host and renovation expert Ty Pennington designed to give vacation club owners a behind-the-scenes look at the people, planning and investment behind the company’s resort operations. Through visits to resort properties and the company’s global headquarters, the series explores how renovations, maintenance and day-to-day operations support the owner experience — and the ongoing care and investment funded through annual maintenance fees — across Travel + Leisure Co.’s portfolio of more than 280 resorts.

The multi-part series follows Pennington as he visits the Travel + Leisure Co. global headquarters in Orlando and multiple Club Wyndham resorts to explore the scale and complexity of maintaining the properties. From large-scale renovation projects to preventative maintenance, engineering, housekeeping, landscaping and owner programming, the series highlights the many teams and operational details that shape the resort experience.

“Maintenance fees are one of the most important — and often misunderstood — aspects of vacation club ownership,” said Kevin Maciulewicz, SVP of Resort Operations at Travel + Leisure Co. “We wanted to create educational content that felt open, engaging and easy to understand, and Ty was the perfect partner to help bring that story to life.”

The series includes footage from a major renovation project at Club Wyndham Branson at The Meadows, where Pennington follows a full-unit transformation from demolition through final reveal. An additional episode filmed at Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek focuses on the daily operational work required to manage one of the company’s largest resorts, including preventative maintenance programs, inventory management, landscaping, pool operations and guest programming.

“I’ve spent my career helping people understand what goes into creating and maintaining great spaces,” said Pennington. “What surprised me about this project was the sheer scale of what happens behind the scenes at these resorts every single day. There are hundreds of people involved in keeping these properties running smoothly, and I think owners are really going to appreciate getting an inside look at that work.”

The series reflects Travel + Leisure Co.’s continued focus on giving owners greater visibility into the expertise, investment and operational planning behind its vacation clubs and resort experiences. Episodes will be distributed through owner-facing communication channels, including newsletters, owner websites and company-owned social media platforms.

“Our owners experience the end result every time they vacation with us,” added Maciulewicz. “From consistently high guest satisfaction scores to the care and quality owners expect at our resorts, this series highlights the people, planning and long-term investment that make those experiences possible year after year.”

Episodes, which will be released weekly every Wednesday beginning on May 27, can be found on Club Wyndham’s website.

PARIS (AP) — Iga Swiatek has improved her career record at the French Open to 42-3.

The four-time champion eliminated 35th-ranked Sara Bejlek 6-2, 6-3 to reach the third round on Wednesday.

Swiatek won Roland Garros in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024.

With a heat wave still a factor in Paris, seventh-seeded Elina Svitolina extended a run of solid form with a 6-0, 6-4 victory over Kaitlin Quevedo.

Svitolina is on an eight-match winning streak after raising the Italian Open trophy.

Also, 11th-seeded Belinda Bencic beat American opponent Caty McNally 6-4, 6-0.

For the fourth straight day of this year's tournament, the temperature was forecast to rise to at least 32 degrees Celsius (90 Fahrenheit).

Later Wednesday, 39-year-old Novak Djokovic faced 74th-ranked French player Valentin Royer, while second-seeded Alexander Zverev was playing Tomas Machac in the night session on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
