Hilton Grand to buy Bluegreen Vacations in $1.5B deal

The deal comes at a time when inflation is beginning to weigh on domestic travel in the U.S, following a surge in demand as COVID-related lockdowns were lifted in the last two years.

Vacation property operator Hilton Grand Vacations said on Monday it would buy peer Bluegreen Vacations in a $1.5 billion deal including debt to broaden its customer base and beef up its offerings.

The deal comes at a time when high inflation is beginning to weigh on domestic travel in the United States, following a surge in demand as COVID-related lockdowns were lifted in the last two years.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Bluegreen Vacations will receive $75 in cash for each share, more than double the closing price on Friday, valuing the company at $1.28 billion.
