ABOUT THE EVENT
After the considerable success of the 2007 Symposium where over 250 industry professionals attended, we are delighted to announce the Second Annual Destination Club & Private Residence Club Industry Symposium.
From fundamentals sessions for new entrants to advanced sessions designed for established club executives, this event provides you with information and insight from industry pioneers and innovators along with key networking opportunities.
Over the past year we have witnessed consolidation amongst Destination Clubs, growth in PRCs and the emergence of new hybrid business models. Brands to independent developers are currently exploring the opportunities that this market offers, and industry growth looks set to continue.
Balancing these industry developments against the backdrop of turmoil in the credit markets, we examine such critical questions as:
How has the credit crash impacted this market?
Are all quality tiers affected equally?
To what degree is the downturn in real estate prices for vacation homes impacting fractional pricing?
Will 2008 see a massive growth in membership for destination clubs and PRCs?
What hot spots are seeing growth in the fractional market?
