TATOC The Timeshare Association

TATOC has launched Harry's Blog, the new way to follow what TATOC's executive chairman Harry Taylor is up to and find out what is happening at TATOC's head office.

There is so much going on at the moment with the new Five-Year Plan, TATOC Consumer Helpline, Sharetime magazine, our health check programme and the Ambassadors that it is difficult to keep everyone up to date. And we know that communication is key to success.

TATOC issues updated Five-Year Plan.

When the first Five-Year Plan was launched in 2007 some doubted the goals were achievable and, at times, is looked like this would be the case.

But after a slow beginning the association gathered momentum and succeeded in doing what it set out to do.

At the recent TATOC conference, the latest Five-Year Plan was launched.

The plan addresses the challenges facing the timeshare industry from an ageing owner base, a difficult financial and marketing environment and the evolving requirements and expectations of today’s holidaymakers. TATOC is determined to work with others in the industry to address these issues.

TATOC is delighted to announce that re-sale organisation The Timeshare Shop has become a TATOC affiliate.

The Timeshare Shop is a family run, U.K. based company specialising in the re-sale of timeshare holiday ownership weeks and points. With offices in Manchester, Spain and the Canary Islands and agents in the U.S., the company’s management team has over 25 years' experience within the industry.

As the business is not linked to any specific timeshare developer it is able to offer independent, unbiased advice and information to prospective purchasers or sellers.

TATOC, the timeshare association, has announced today that the name TATOC (and corresponding logo) is now a registered trademark.

Designated by the circled capital letter ‘R’, the symbol is used to distinguish goods and services from competitors. Registering TATOC as trademark gives the association the exclusive right to use the mark in the United Kingdom and Europe. The association is currently undergoing trademark registration in the U.S.A.

TATOC, the Timeshare Association, has announced the appointment of a new co-opted board director.

Emily Collins, who has been working with the Association for the past three years, is responsible for the publication of the Association’s quarterly magazine, Sharetime, and also oversees TATOC’s two websites.

The Association announced at the recent TATOC conference that it was looking to develop a stronger board of quality directors with a wider scope of experience. 

“The timeshare world is changing and TATOC has a number of objectives to support our members and affiliates tackle the challenges we are facing. The board needs to call upon the knowledge of industry professionals to help us achieve these objectives,” explained Harry Taylor, executive chairman.

The Timeshare Association (Timeshare Owners and Committees), TATOC, has announced that five Holiday Club Canarias resorts have joined the association as resort members.

The resorts are recent additions to the Holiday Club portfolio, which consists of 31 resorts in Finland, Sweden and Spain. The five new resorts add 6,000 owners to the existing membership of 42,000.

Calvin Lucock, MD Holiday Club Canarias: “After a longstanding relationship with RDO, Holiday Club has decided to become affiliated to TATOC as well. For many years, we have been strong supporters of both organisations. Our mutual affiliation to a consumer’s association as well as to a trade body is in the interest of our owners and the industry alike. Most importantly, Holiday Club shares the same values as TATOC and RDO: to promote and adhere to correct business practices and exercise high work ethics.”
