History
[edit]ReserveAmerica was founded in 1984 as a software development company specializing in reservations for the local recreation industry. In 1992, the company developed a reservation system for state and federal park systems. ReserveAmerica has provided reservations services for the National Park Service since 1997. In 2001, it was acquired by InterActiveCorp.
In June, 2005, the United States Forest Service contracted with the company to provide a single-source federal recreation information and reservation service.[1] In addition, ReserveAmerica also serves the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and some state parks contracts.
In 2009, InterActiveCorp sold ReserveAmerica to ACTIVE Network.[2] In 2017, Global Payments acquired the Communities and Sports divisions of ACTIVE Network. ACTIVE Network's Outdoors division, including ReserveAmerica, spun off to become the independent company Aspira, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with nine offices in the United States, Canada and Asia.[3]
