Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, New Features, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, VOIC , add a commentAccording to a survey conducted by the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), Americans receive the smallest amount of allotted vacation time compared to our European and Asian neighbors. The importance of leisure time is paramount however. Vacations revitalize and rejuvenate mind, body and soul; they bestow a sense of reward in a world that demands so much. In an effort to educate people about the importance of vacationing, ARDA has developed VacationBetter.org.
Emphasizing the benefits of taking time off from the daily grind, the website is an informational resource about vacation ownership: timeshare, fractionals and private residence clubs. The goal of this website is to inform you about vacation ownership and to demonstrate a way for travelers to vacation better. VacationBetter.org is not about selling timeshares, but illustrating how the concept of timeshare can expand the vacation experience for your entire family.
This is similar to BuyATimeshare.com and the devotion we have to bringing people to the great potential of vacation ownership and vacationing regularly. This not only adds to the overall health and quality of life, but the owner is able to make time off a scheduled event, rather than an expensive inconvenience.
President and CEO of ARDA, Howard Nusbaum, said “VacationBetter.org is a comprehensive resource that provides accurate information about vacations and timeshare products.” People, who do often vacation, typically fail to realize that there are valuable options like timeshares available to them. ARDA’s new website will be the go-to source for all things timeshare.
Nusbaum explains as this world becomes ever-more complex, it can be overwhelming to rummage through the millions of timeshare-oriented website and forums on the web. “People are faced with increasingly diverse marketplace and options in leisure travel particularly blogs, and travel related websites, making today’s vacation home market a continually evolving one.”

This latest exchange scheme will allow timeshare owners to rent out their vacation property when they’re not using them. BuyATimeshare.com has been offering people the option to rent, sell and buy vacation property for years. With a dedicated Rental Specialist Department, BuyATimeshare.com gives owners a way to get cash from their timeshare, to pay maintenance fees, or toward their next getaway.

This offer is only good for RCI affiliated resorts however. This is where BuyATimeshare.com really shines, with rentals offered by most owners across the globe.
RCI will arrange the renters, but the owner only receives 70 percent of the income—along with some bonus points. This is an ingenious twist to their already impressive portfolio.

Cynthia’s Las Vegas Vacation with a Timeshare Rental April 18, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, New Features, News & Events, RCI, Sunterra Timeshare, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Travel, Uncategorized, VOIC, Westgate Timeshares , add a comment While on vacation in sunny Las Vegas, I was fortunate enough to visit various resorts throughout this beautiful and exciting area. It was an experience of a lifetime to see firsthand what this incredible place had to offer. Along my trip I was able to take tours and truly understand the many resorts, programs, and packages available along the famed Las Vegas strip.
Although the hospitality industry was impressive in Vegas, they are no match for the genuine deals a serious buyer can find on buyatimeshare.com. A leading name in the timeshare resale industry, developers were consistently selling properties that were at least 30% higher than those advertised on buyatimeshare.com
During my expedition of the numerous resorts in the area, I first found my way to the Westgate Flamingo Bay. Set way off the beaten path, this quaint resort was only three miles from the infamous Vegas strip. This was a very family oriented place with a kid-friendly atmosphere. Not the place for honeymooners or couples looking to getaway from it all. It is however, ideal for family holidays. The facilities were well-kept, and they were selling float weeks, rather than set weeks. The benefits seemed to stop there however—the sales tour of the property was grueling. While I anticipated a 45minute walkthrough, three hours went by before we were given the opportunity to leave. The prices they were offering were extremely high for a property so far from civilization.
While the staff was quite pleasant, I could not help but notice that I knew more about the timeshare business than their sales representatives. And when it came down to buying, it turned out that the Flamingo Bay resort was sold out and they were in fact suggesting that I buy a property off site. This is becoming more popular amongst resort developers. Buyatimeshare.com has over 100 timeshares at Flamingo Bay. A suite with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, float week, is priced at $1,900.00 TO BUY! With bargains fit for any budget on the popular resale market, why pay the developer’s inflated prices? For a beautiful stay off the bustling Las Vegas strip, the Flamingo Bay is a peaceful stay in the hot Nevada sun.
We heard about the up and coming Westgate property in Las Vegas will be an ominous resort—defining the future of vacation luxury. The Planet Hollywood Towers will be a 50-story glass monster outfitted with an all new Planet Hollywood Casino. It will house over 1200 vacation villas, and almost 30 executive penthouse suites, 12 premium restaurants with an eclectic range of cuisine, and a shopping mall packed with 140 stores. Though it won’t be built until 2011, half of the properties within this phenomenal palace have already been sold. Innovators in the entertainment and hospitality business have perched this giant on the center of the strip—surrounded by all the lights and nightlife of Vegas.
RCI and Dubai Begin A New Generation Of Timeshare Resales April 10, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, JetShare, New Features, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Travel, Uncategorized, VOIC, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentThe timeshare industry has certainly come a long way from Super Devoluy in the French Alps. When Florida adopted the timeshare resort model during the 1970’s, the world could not have expected the popularity of deeded timeshare ownership. When Resort Condominium International (RCI) debuted in 1974 they provided owners with the flexibility to exchange their weeks between different timeshare resorts. Today this notion is commonplace and buyatimeshare.com has been putting people in contact with these fantastic opportunities for a decade.
RCI’s revolutionary take on the timeshare resort concept has propelled them to international distinction. Recently this subsidiary of the Wyndham Worldwide Family has increased its already staggering portfolio of over 67,000 vacation properties across 100 countries. Set to open in the summer of 2008, the latest in timeshare luxury is the Bavaria Executive Suites Dubai. Offering well over 400 apartments and more than 2000 one, two, and three bedroom hotel suites this brand-new location brings a superb view of “The Palm” and the Jumeirah beachfront. This represents the first timeshare development on Dubai’s prestigious Sheikh Zayed Road—a main industrial and commercial boulevard.
