What a great experience! … Just got back from the TATOC Conference this past weekend.

As you know from last week’s The Timeshare Authority, Steve Luba (Director of Communications, Sell My Timeshare NOW) and I had the opportunity to attend The Association for Timeshare Owners Committees (TATOC) Conference in Warrington, England.

This is an outstanding event for everyone involved in the timeshare and vacation ownership industries. Much of the credit for the success of this timeshare conference goes to Harry Taylor (CEO of TATOC) and to Jennie Thompson (Director Media contact and membership) for running a conference that is informative, well organized, and very friendly.

Harry, Jennie, and all the people who worked so hard to make this event possible, made sure the hospitality was first-class and that everyone felt welcome. In an atmosphere that was relaxed and positive, we found an enthusiastic audience for Sell My Timeshare NOW’s message of how timeshare resales and timeshare rental advertising companies play a vital part in the industry as a whole and how we offer services to benefit timeshare developers and timeshare management as well as timeshare owners.

Perspective Magazine at TATOC Timeshare Conference

Perspective Magazine and Owners Perspective Magazine were well represented at the TATOC conference. Paul Mattimoe and Sharon Mattimoe, founders and publishers of both publications, do a fantastic job with their online and print timeshare industry publications. Through their company, Perspective International, Inc., they provide a valued media resource for timeshare developers, management companies, suppliers, timeshare resales companies, brokers, and overall, everyone connected with the timeshare industry. Owners Perspective Magazine, their newest product, went live online last July, and into print publication this past January, and is quickly becoming a favorite go-to resource for timeshare owners and prospective timeshare buyers.

It was great to spend time with Paul and Sharon during the TATOC conference.

You Need TATOC and TATOC Needs You

This conference is only the tip of the iceberg on the many ways TATOC serves the timeshare industry. TATOC is an effective and important organization and I urge resorts in Europe to join TATOC –they are the real voice of timeshare ownership in Europe.

In these difficult economic times, resorts may feel that such a membership is a luxury, but the timeshare industry needs to take the pulse of owners now more than ever. TATOC is a great vehicle for resorts to exchange information and work proactively with timeshare owners to grow the industry in ways that benefit everyone.

Later this week, I will be updating you more on some of the topics discussed at the TATOC conference and my thoughts in particular on how potential new EU legislation relates to timeshare resales and current timeshare owners.

Favorite timeshare resort number 31 on the Sell My Timeshare NOW HOT 100 List is the Las Vegas timeshare, The Cliffs at Peace Canyon. While the name of this Las Vegas timeshare might lead you to think it is located in a remote area, it is actually only a short drive (approximately 15 minutes by car or complimentary shuttle) from the excitement of the Las Vegas Strip. But the location of The Cliffs at Peace Canyon is exactly what makes it such a desirable timeshare vacation destination. You can easily enjoy the Las Vegas nightlife, yet spend your days outdoors exploring nearby Red Rock Canyon, Spring Mountains National Recreation Area in Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest, or Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.

Relaxing at The Cliffs at Peace Canyon, Las Vegas Timeshare Resort

After too much desert sun or too many hours at the gaming tables, The Cliffs at Peace Canyon offer an ideal way to relax. The Cliffs at Peace Canyon Spa has saunas, steam rooms, hot-stone massages, European treatments, Swiss showers, herbal facials, salt scrubs and more. You may also want to enjoy 18 holes at one of the nearby golf courses or simply relax by the swimming pool and let the tranquility of Peace Canyon take you far away from your daily grind.

What to Expect at The Cliffs at Peace Canyon Nevada Timeshares

Choose your spacious The Cliffs at Peace Canyon timeshare unit from one or two-bedroom floor plans, each with a kitchen, living room and dining area. Gas fireplaces make the units extra cozy while a full-size washer and dryer makes them convenient for hikers, swimmers, families, or anyone who prefers not to end his vacation with a load of dirty clothes.

Timeshare resales opportunities and timeshare rentals at The Cliffs at Peace Canyon provide you plenty of options for enjoying this Nevada timeshare, and many reasons to feel that ‘just outside of Las Vegas’ could be your just right Nevada timeshare.

Nevada is home to many favorite Las Vegas timeshares, but the Tahiti Village timeshare Phase I, claims spot number 32 on the Sell My Timeshare NOW HOT 100 List. This Las Vegas timeshare is a 22-acre, master planned resort that includes five multi-unit resort towers and a three-story, 42,000-square foot hotel-style lobby.

Your Tahiti Village Phase I Timeshare

At the resort, an outdoor swimming pool with its own sandy “beach” and a lazy river water feature offer a great way to relax when you need a break from shopping, shows, and casino excitement. On the expansive property, you will also fine a putting green, reflecting pool with cabanas, volleyball courts, hot tub, and a whirlpool, as well as a 24/7 restaurant, snack bars, and a health club.

The Tahiti Village timeshare is located on the famous Strip, putting all the excitement of Vegas shows and casinos at your front door. Completed less than four years ago, this timeshare has quickly become a Las Vegas timeshare classic, and a favorite timeshare resale and timeshare rental.

The Tahiti Village timeshare is a Consolidated Resorts Vacation Ownership property. Consolidated Resorts has Hawaii timeshares, Orlando timeshares, and three Las Vegas timeshare resorts.
