RCI has announced a new affiliation with America’s Trains Inc. This agreement adds unique train accommodation options to RCI’s network of affiliated resorts.

“Our affiliation with America’s Trains adds a unique vacation option for our members, adding even more variety to the types of accommodations we offer,” said Gordon Gurnik, president, RCI. “The luxury train accommodation provides an unforgettable vacation, during which members can travel across the United States and into Canada with stopovers at several cities, giving them the romantic ambience of days gone by while living on board their luxurious rail cars.”

Francis Taylor, CEO of Dial An Exchange (DAE) has been inducted into the Australian Timeshare and Holiday Ownership Council (ATHOC) Hall of Fame.

Conceived in 1994, the ATHOC Hall of Fame recognises individuals who have contributed significantly to the timeshare industry as a whole, and is presented only when ATHOC’s Board of Directors agrees there is a worthwhile recipient.

Francis Taylor’s industry career began in 1994 as an employee of Interchange Timeshare Exchange, and in 1997 he was a founding director of Dial An Exchange. 

From humble beginnings in a small apartment on the Gold Coast, this young start-up company focused on delivering excellent customer service to their clients. Developing ‘real’ relationships and going to any length to make exchanges happen for members.

Worldwide Timeshare Hypermarket (WWTH) has launched a timeshare product designed to solve two major problems: exit strategies for members who wish to discontinue their ownership and the development of a modern, flexible holiday product designed for a new generation of owners.

WWTH, Europe’s leading re-sale organisation, has today introduced eXpectations.

The product’s premise is simple: eXpectations is a private label club that provides holiday accommodation in the club and to over 4,000 timeshare resorts around the world through the clubs association with RCI.

This accommodation is either exclusive inventory held and owned by the club or is made available through the exchange network.

Timeshare owners can apply to exchange their week/s of ownership for eXpectations points. If successful (see criteria below) the club takes over the ownership and liability for the management fees.

Kevin Camilleri and Perry Newton from Malta-based marketing company Azure are two ordinary people with an extraordinary goal: to compete in the Heroes Legend.

More commonly known as the Paris-Dakar rally, the race is notorious for its gruelling trek across the western part of the Sahara Desert. One of the most difficult off-road races in the world, the Paris-Dakar rally attracts competitors from various countries. Yet this year will be the first time to include two Maltese entrants – something Kevin is well aware of.

“it feels good,” admits Kevin. “This is a very challenging sport and I hope that I will be waving the Maltese flag at the end of it.”

Worldwide Timeshare Hypermarket has launched an exciting new London taxi cab timeshare promotion.

Fancy sharing a cab? Timeshare taxi anyone? Well, maybe that's an idea that needs some work before it gets off the starting blocks. But, in the meantime, Worldwide Timeshare Hypermarket  (WWTH) already has a team of London taxis on a lap of honour!

This summer the eyes of the world will be on London as the UK’s capital plays host to the 2012 Olympics and an estimated six million visitors a day. So, how to reach all those people?
