Interval International

In the small island fishing village of Favignana is the Sicilian timeshare resort, Villaggio Cala La Luna. Travelers love the area for its old world charm and clear blue waters, where local fishermen catch bluefin tuna, lobster, and octopus.

This week, the resort announced their affiliation as part of the Interval International timeshare exchange. According to Timeshare Perspective, Darren Ettridge, Interval International’s vice president resort sales and service (Europe), says, “Good quality resorts such as this are popular with our members and we are delighted to welcome this resort to our network. This is our fourth affiliation in Italy since July 2007 and it is continued evidence of Interval’s success in the region.”

New Timeshare Resort Destinations Growing in Popularity

Villaggio Cala La Luna timeshare resort is within walking distance of the harbor and offers a pool, restaurant, and live entertainment. Popularly accessible by hydrofoil from the mainland, the island is a favorite destination for deep sea fishing and diving. Many people are familiar with it as the host site of the 2008 America’s Cup. Less than one year old, this timeshare resort includes 58 timeshares within its 70 studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units.

While we are all familiar with well-known favorite timeshare vacation destinations, including Florida timeshare, Las Vegas timeshare, Aruba timeshare, and Hawaii timeshare, it is exciting to see new venues in the timeshare marketplace. And by joining the Interval International timeshare exchange system, this small Sicilian timeshare resort is becoming part of an exchange network that includes over 2,400 timeshare resorts in 75 countries around the world.

Who knows, someday tiny Sicily might be on the list of top-demand timeshare vacation destinations.

South Africa’s Southern Sun Hotel Interests Limited “Southern Sun” has signed an affiliation agreement with Interval International timeshare exchange company.

Included in the agreement are Southern Sun’s six existing Lifestyle Resorts, (timeshares) which represent one of the largest South African vacation ownership programs. Any Southern Sun Hotel properties added during the term of the contract between Southern Sun and Interval International will also fall under the affiliation agreement.

Interval International will provide the Southern Sun South Africa timeshares with a comprehensive package of customized services, including back-office points based reservation services and program-design support and enabling Southern Sun hotels and timeshares to offer both deeded and points based timeshares.

South Africa Timeshare is a Destination on the Rise

South Africa timeshare offers vacation options that range from big game to beautiful beaches to great golf and safari explorations. For US travelers (and vacationers from many other parts of the world), a South Africa timeshare vacation includes an added perk … a beneficial currency exchange rate. Currently the US dollar still exchanges at approximately 1 US dollar = 10.2005427 South African rand. This means that your money will go a long way paying for food, restaurant dining, entertainment and travel within the country, making your South Africa timeshare resale a truly excellent vacation opportunity.

According to news in the Orlando Sentinel and other sources, the Disney Vacation Club has signed a multi-year contract with Group RCI, a timeshare exchange company.

Effective, January 1, 2009, RCI will be the exclusive exchange provider for Disney Vacation Club timeshare members. Under the terms of the new agreement, timeshare owners at Disney Vacation Club will be able to use their Disney Vacation Club timeshare points to book timeshare at RCI resorts all over the world.

Exchanging Disney timeshare points through RCI will enable Disney owners to book timeshare at non-Disney resorts. At the same time, the more than 3.6 million members of RCI timeshare exchange will now be able to exchange other timeshare for stays at the Disney Vacation Club.

A spokesperson for Disney timeshare, which is based in Celebration, Florida, says the decision to switch Disney’s exchange affiliation from Interval International to RCI exchange will provide Disney timeshare members with “‘a significantly broader range of resort experiences,’ including access to destinations across six continents and 25 countries.”

Disney believes they will be able to attract more people to buy timeshare at the Disney resorts, by being able to offer access to a wider array of timeshare exchange.
