He is expected to be a major addition to this year’s conference.”</p>
<p>The 2010 Ragatz Associates Fractional Interest Conference will mark its 10th anniversary.

Tech Blog: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/ Secure Programming Blog: http://www.safercode.com/blog/ Blog: http://blog.shantanugoel.com/ --><p>Spanish golf resort chooses leading shared ownership publication to promote its fractional ownership offerings.</p>
<p><img class="  alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Regan Berger - Director of Sales, Arcos Gardens" src="http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com/news/reganberger.jpg" alt="Regan Berger - Director of Sales, Arcos Gardens" width="280" height="350" /></p>
<p>“Arcos Gardens is an upmarket luxury golf resort based in the south of Spain which is now offering some of its luxury properties for sale on a fractional basis.  It is important that the media where we advertise directly targets the market we are aiming to attract.  We identified Owners Perspective as a publication that precisely suited our purpose in this respect.  It focuses on the shared ownership market and possesses strong distribution in key areas.  We look forward to building a long term partnership with them.” Said Regan Berger, Director of Sales, Arcos Gardens.</p>
<p>Owners Perspective Magazine (http://<a href="http://www.ownersperspective.com">www.ownersperspective.com</a>) specifically focuses on the shared ownership industry and includes resort and product reviews relating to resort real estate, fractional ownership and high end timeshare / vacation ownership products and has been selected for distribution in all first class British Airways airport lounges globally and on selected main routes for many other airlines such as Virgin Atlantic, Emirates Airlines, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and more, in addition to its print and online circulation.</p>
<p>“We are delighted to have Arcos Gardens select our publication to promote their luxurious properties in Spain.” Said Paul Mattimoe, CEO, OP Media LLC. “The attraction to our consumer publication is that it offers complete print and online marketing campaigns rather than standard advertising, so premium packages not only include print advertising, but also complimentary online banner advertising, direct enquiry forms, email advertising, press release syndication and targeted social media marketing all designed to attract the right kind of prospective purchaser for each development.”</p>

<p>Located among the rolling hills of Andalusia and next to the famed white village of Arcos de la Frontera in the province of Cadiz, the Arcos Gardens Golf Club &amp; Country Estate is an exclusive low density golf resort designed for upscale luxury living. The 440 acre property was a former olive grove that was transformed through the transplanting of over 2,000 olive trees into a leading golf destination featuring a championship 18-hole course that was recently named one of Europe’s Top 100. Among the project’s facilities are a brand new club house with day spa and a restored 17th century cortijo, reflecting the goal to combine top quality service and world-class amenities with the area’s natural beauty and traditional Spanish charm.</p>
<p>In order to provide its homeowners with a truly superior lifestyle experience, Arcos Gardens places an emphasis on providing the highest level of build quality and offering large, open spaces created through careful landscaping and integration into the surrounding environment. The architectural designs have been influenced by the region’s rustic style and feature spacious open plan living areas with high-spec state-of-the-art fittings. Also noteworthy are the development’s first-class ‘green’ credentials that incorporate several eco-friendly initiatives including solar panels for water heating and the use of recycled water from a plant built by the project.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Powered by Shantz WP Prefix Suffix. Tech Blog: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/ Secure Programming Blog: http://www.safercode.com/blog/ Blog: http://blog.shantanugoel.com/ --><p>“This is a completely different economic climate, and therefore a completely different marketing, sales and PR climate as well,” says Luca Franco, President of Luxury Leisure Properties International (LLPI) “We have already created many successful mixed use products in the past, and now we are moving creatively forward with our newest project, Vallarta Gardens, on Banderas Bay near Puerto Vallarta.”</p>
<p><img class=" alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; border-width: 0px;" title="Vallarta Gardens Resort, Riviera Nayarit / Puerto Vallarta, Mexico" src="http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com/news/llparticle.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="200" /></p>
<p>It is no wonder Luca is proud. Even in this capricious economic climate, the Vallarta Garden’s launch in<br />
mid December 2009 has created major buzz. Its location is on Banderas Bay, a peaceful body of water that<br />
spans about 40 miles, and is protected by the Sierra Madre Mountains. This area is known as the Nayarit<br />
Riviera, located on the Pacific, non-Hurricane side of Mexico, midway between Puerto Vallarta and Punta<br />
Mita, near a picturesque town of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.</p>
<p>“And this beachfront getaway is much more than the phrase implies.” Luca comments, “It is a boutique resort, with endless luxury amenities. A few minutes away from the residences owners have access to Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf signature golf courses. There is also is a yacht on the property for owners and members to use. Sportfishing and pleasure cruising are just two of the great amenities here. And then there is the spa… on the beach!”</p>
<p>Vallarta Gardens combines fractional, full ownership and basic vacation rental structures. The homes<br />
themselves are between 3,500 and 5,000sf, four and five bedrooms respectively. Pricing starts at $80,000<br />
for 1/13th share.</p>
<p>Luca is one of the few people in the luxury fractional industry whose international reputation is widely<br />
known and respected. Multilingual, multicultural, and of European descent, he has been involved in finding<br />
and creating successful fractional projects for the past decade. He puts teams together that define the who’s<br />
who of the fractional interest industry. Jim Marmorstone, Lisa Manley, Sarah Rezak, Andrew Berry, Daned<br />
Kirkham, Eric Pierce and others who are very well-known as the best of the best when it comes to<br />
negotiating, sales, marketing, now consult for the various LLPI projects.“ We have hand picked the best in<br />
the fractional field, and can call on them anytime to create new strategies for each of our projects.”</p>
<p>LLPI is an international advisory and management company servicing developers and investors in luxury<br />
mixed-use hotels &amp; resorts. Luca said: “Our aim is to maximize value for the hospitality real estate asset<br />
by applying creative strategies towards leisure real estate product and drive significant synergies between<br />
the different hotel and resort components.</p>
<p>LLPI is working in partnership with Valhalla group, with its visionary president Preben Vestdam, in EMEA<br />
to deliver a consistent global product line sharing resources, know-how and operating processes &amp;<br />
procedures.</p>
<p>LLPI has also established a preferred alliance with Strategic Hotels &amp; Resorts, a leading owner, developer<br />
and asset manager of luxury hotels in North America and Europe. SHR is viewed as the pioneer and “blue<br />
chip” of hotel and resort asset management today with its leading edge systems setting the standards for<br />
operators and owners alike.</p>
<p>One of the more fascinating aspects of Vallarta Gardens is the marketing decision to include a major<br />
emphasis on the Mexican market. As Luca says, “We are, of course vitally connected to the American and<br />
pan-Asian market as well, but we know that Vallarta Gardens is only three hours away from Guadalajara,<br />
Mexico, with nearly 5 million people, and we believe that many of them want and need a beachfront<br />
getaway.”</p>
<p>Luca pauses, then says, “Actually, we all need a beachfront getaway, and Vallarta Gardens, combines the<br />
best of both. It is a true sanctuary.” – By Susan Kime.</p>

Tech Blog: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/ Secure Programming Blog: http://www.safercode.com/blog/ Blog: http://blog.shantanugoel.com/ --><p>Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), today announced the addition of Grand Lodges to its vacation exchange network. Tucked into Oregon’s majestic Cascade Mountain Range a few miles from Mt. Hood, this new fractional resort offers four seasons of recreation, including year-round downhill and cross-country skiing.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com/news/grandlodgesmounthood.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /></p>
<p>“The central location of Grand Lodges adjacent to three ski areas is ideal for our upscale members, who will have the opportunity to visit this high-quality ski-in/ski-out resort,” said David Gilbert, executive vice president of resort sales and marketing for Interval International. “This destination offers a wonderful variety of recreational options, including an extensive night skiing area at Mt. Hood Skibowl and summer skiing at Timberline Palmer Snow Field.”</p>
<p>Today, owners of 1/16 shares at Grand Lodges can catch the Porch-to-Powder shuttle to Mt. Hood Skibowl, Timberline Lodge, and Collins Lake Resort and ski back from Timberline via the glade trail to within steps of their front doors. A proposed aerial tramway connecting the three ski areas promises to further expand ski-in options.</p>
<p>With panoramic views of Multorpor Mountain, Mt. Hood Skibowl, and Collins Lake, 16 open-plan units are designed for a cosmopolitan market coming from the Pacific Northwest’s large metropolitan hubs (Portland International Airport is 53 miles away). Three floor plans ranging from 1,800 to 2,300 square feet offer owners and guests three bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a private balcony off the living room and master bedroom. In most units, Brazilian cherry hardwood floors and Cascadian stone fireplaces lend to an ambiance of rustic elegance.</p>
<p>“Our vision was to create the ultimate balance between a getaway retreat and a comfortable home,” says Kirk Hanna, managing member of Mt. Hood LLC II, the developer of Grand Lodges. Hanna also owns Mt. Hood Skibowl. “Units are acoustically engineered to give owners a quiet appreciation of the stunning panoramas. The on-site recreation center and full-service concierge and spa will provide first-class pampering. And, our affiliation with Interval International completes the picture by expanding our owners’ vacation options to other quality locations worldwide.”</p>
<p>Planned on-site amenities include a fully equipped fitness center, heated outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, wireless Internet access, and shuttle service for skiers. Situated in the slope side village of Government Camp, the resort also offers visitors easy access to the surrounding Mt. Hood National Forest, with more than 1,200 miles of hiking and biking trails, as well as world-class rafting, fishing, canoeing and kayaking.</p>
<p>Further reinforcing the value of ownership, new purchasers will be enrolled as individual members of Interval International, as well as Interval Gold®, its upgraded membership program. This gives them the opportunity to exchange their accommodations for those at other resorts in Interval’s worldwide network, as well as the ability to relinquish their resort weeks toward the purchase of cruise, golf, and spa vacations. They also will enjoy an extensive menu of benefits, including discounts on resort Getaways, ShortStay Exchangesm, access to a personal concierge service available 24 hours a day via phone and e-mail, complimentary Hertz #1 Gold® membership, and worldwide hotel and dining discounts.</p>
<p>Interval International operates membership programs for vacation owners and provides value-added services to its developer clients worldwide. Based in Miami, Florida, the company has been a pioneer and innovator in serving the vacation ownership market for more than 33 years. Today, Interval has a network of approximately 2,500 resorts in more than 75 countries and offers its resort clients and about 2 million member families high-quality products and programs through offices in 26 cities in 16 countries. Interval is an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: IILG), a leading global provider of membership and leisure services to the vacation industry.</p>

<p>“Gold Coast Aruba will be selling its whole ownership product to an upscale clientele and we’re glad to be able to support them with our enhanced membership benefit product, which is specifically tailored to an affluent consumer,” said David Gilbert, executive vice president of resort sales and marketing for Interval International.</p>
<p>The resort community is located on 26 acres just a few minutes away from the scenic northwest coastline, and its architecture and interior design reflect a Mediterranean style with a contemporary Caribbean touch. It includes two- and three-bedroom townhomes and three-bedroom villas with well-appointed, spacious living and dining areas, state-of-the-art kitchens and bathrooms, large balconies, and secluded patios. The two-story townhomes range in size from approximately 900 to 1,600 square feet, while the villas have around 1,800 to 3,200 square feet of space.</p>
<p>“Gold Coast Aruba is situated in a very desirable area and features quality accommodations as well as a wide array of amenities that one would expect to find at a luxury resort,” said Fito Croes, director of sales and marketing for the property. “All owners will gain access to Interval’s valuable membership benefits, and those who participate in the rental program also will have the ability to trade their time for a comparable vacation experience at one of hundreds of quality resorts worldwide.”</p>
<p>Scheduled for completion in 2010 and 2011 is an amenity complex anchored by a multi-million-dollar clubhouse with a full-service spa, water feature, and infinity pool; a state-of-the-art fitness center; and two lighted tennis courts. The Tierra del Sol championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, is conveniently located across from the property.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[“It was a straightforward decision” said Mr Terry Vose, MD of Moness Group Limited. “We already use Merlin Software for our current timeshare program.  We needed a system that could handle the challenges of a mixed use resort including our hotel and new Points Club.

It is great that we can operate all our businesses on one platform”.]]></description>

Tech Blog: http://tech.shantanugoel.com/ Secure Programming Blog: http://www.safercode.com/blog/ Blog: http://blog.shantanugoel.com/ --><p>“It was a straightforward decision” said Mr Terry Vose, MD of Moness Group Limited. “We already use Merlin Software for our current timeshare program.  We needed a system that could handle the challenges of a mixed use resort including our hotel and new Points Club. The chosen software would need to work seamlessly with all these areas and Merlin is certainly capable of doing this for us – and much more. It is great that we can operate all our businesses on one platform”.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com/news/monesshousefeatured.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /></p>
<p>The Moness Hotel has just been renovated and uses Merlin Software to support all its activities using the feature rich Property Management and Front Desk modules.  The timeshare side of the business has used Merlin and its predecessor product, for many years now.  And just recently Merlin has been set up to manage the newly launched points program, “The Cedar Club”.  Merlin allows for all of these varied businesses to be managed on a single integrated platform.</p>
<p>Developed as state of the art Business Application Software, Merlin is served across the internet and provides a single integrated business solution for today’s timeshare and hotel industry. Users simply access the software securely via a web browser from anywhere at any time. This means that Moness staff can access the same system from their base in Bournemouth and from the Moness Hotel and timeshare operation in Scotland without the need to create and maintain a complicated direct connection.</p>
<p>However, the Moness team was really keen on what Merlin calls “Integrated Interactivity”. This simply means that in addition to driving every part of their business, Merlin will work with their website to enable on line rental bookings including credit card payment.  Merlin’s interactive capabilities ensure that business users and clients are able to access the same data over the internet at the same time without the need for expensive program interfaces or the need to transfer data from one system to another.</p>
<p>“It is really important today that your website allows your owners to see their account information and for non owners to make live bookings.  Merlin can do this for us.  It can completely integrate with our website and makes it easy for our owners and guests to interact with us” said Mr Vose.</p>
<p>Merlin is the leading provider of software to the industry, using the new technology of Cloud Computing, delivering software directly to your internet browser. According to chief software developer Mike Pnematicatos “Merlin is resource light, incredibly intuitive and allows unlimited users and multiple locations to access the software securely in real time from anywhere in the world. It enables resorts and hotels to benefit from time and cost savings &#8211; yet still be at the cutting edge of internet technology”.</p>
<p><strong>About Merlin Software</strong><br />
Merlin Software for Vacation Ownership has been developed by Mike Pnematicatos who has over 20 years experience in the timeshare industry in sales, marketing and resort management.</p>
<p>Using the latest web technology, Merlin is the complete software package for today’s hospitality industry and can handle all types of timeshare and holiday product.</p>
<p>Merlin Software incorporates modules for sales, marketing and front and back office. Its inherent flexibility means it can operate all types of sales activity and holiday product.  As Merlin is served over the Internet there is no requirement for any expensive communication links or set up fees and can be accessed from wherever there is an Internet connection without the need for expensive communication links.</p>
<p>For more information on Merlin Software for Vacation Ownership contact Mike Ashton on, email at mikea@quickmerlin.com  or visit www.quickmerlin.com to arrange a full demo.</p>
<p><strong>About Moness House and Country Club</strong><br />

<p><a href="http://www.fractionalpropertyguide.com"><img class="alignnone" style="border: 0px;" title="Fractional Property Guide | Fractional Listings For Sale" src="http://www.theperspectivemagazine.com/news/fractionalpropertyguidefeatured.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="219" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.ownersperspective.com"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; border: 0px;" title="Owners Perspective Magazine | Fractional Property &amp; Shared Ownership Magazine" src="http://www.ownersperspective.com/images/latestedition.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="356" /></a>This standalone website is the first of a suite of directories planned by Owners Perspective Magazine which burst onto the market in January 2009 and already reaches nearly 50,000 consumers per month through an innovative mix of online and print subscriptions and distribution via more than 140 first class and business class airport lounges around the world; including global deals with British Airways and selected main routes for Virgin Atlantic, Emirates Airlines, American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and many more. The publication is also available through a rapidly growing number of luxury hotels and resorts worldwide.</p>
<p>The Fractional Property Guide however is not just another portal. Six months of trialling content, design and functionality within a temporary part of the magazine’s website has resulted in the birth of an exclusive collection of fractional properties that consumers can contact directly.</p>
<p>The website is not designed to harvest other fractional listings in a bid to boast the most properties; instead it is exclusively available to Owners Perspective Magazine advertisers only and subject to approval.  Each fractional ownership property has a full page listing with essential information, images and the option for streaming video, plus a direct enquiry form where consumers can request anything from a brochure or availability of fractions, to requesting a sales call or arranging an inspection visit all with the confidence that these carefully selected properties have already featured in the leading independent shared ownership publication in the world.</p>
<p>Owners Perspective Magazine’s print and online educational and research platform is revolutionizing traditional lead generation methods for developers by putting the consumer in the driving seat, spending anything from several minutes to several months, perhaps even years to educate themselves at their own pace in what they are looking for from a vacation home or vacation product, rather than being sold to. Then when the consumer chooses to contact the developer / advertiser that are selling a specific product, it is because that consumer is ready and wants to discuss a potential purchase at that development.</p>
<p>For the developer, this regular stream of sales enquiries are simply delivered instantly to their sales / marketing departments in a clear easy to use and easy to file format, complete with full contact details of the prospective buyer and additional information such as whether or not they already own a vacation property or vacation ownership product.</p>
<p>Owners Perspective Magazine also offers a number of enhanced products and services for developers and marketers of Fractional Properties.</p>
<p><strong>For more information call +1 407 792 2343 (USA) or +44 191 250 3501 (UK), email </strong><a href="mailto:advertising@perspectiveinternational.com"><strong>advertising@perspectiveinternational.com</strong></a><strong> or visit their online media centre at </strong><a href="http://www.perspectiverates.com"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">http://www.perspectiverates.com</span></strong></a></p>

<p>TATOC, the Timeshare Association, and Worldwide Leisure Group have joined together to launch “Timeshare – History in the Making” – a 30-minute programme explaining all the benefits associated with owning a timeshare – which will début tomorrow on the Travel Deals Direct channel (Sky 647) and air on the Travel Channel (Sky 251) subsequently.</p>
<p>The Travel Channel will first air the program at 9am on 7th November and then Travel Deals Direct, a shopping channel and sister station of digital television&#8217;s Travel Channel, will broadcast the special at 1.30pm on Saturday afternoon. It will be repeated throughout November on both channels, as well as being available to view on demand at <a href="http://www.traveldealsdirect.com">www.traveldealsdirect.com</a>.</p>
<p>The programme is split into several sections covering all aspects of timesharing and is interspersed with footage of typical timeshare resorts located on the Costa del Sol (Club La Costa, Marina del Sol), Cyprus (Paradise Kings Club) and Scotland (Macdonald Hotels &amp; Resorts, Forest Hills). The broadcast also explains how exchange programmes work.</p>
<p>The presentation is the result of a combined effort between Harry Taylor, the CEO for TATOC, and Philip Watson of Worldwide Leisure Group. Throughout the half-hour Harry offers his insight on things such as management fees and the beauty of being able to exchange worldwide. He also shares his experiences as a timeshare owner. The idea behind the show is to educate people about timesharing in the comfort of their own homes.</p>
<p>This special programme is intended to be the first of many; other established developers, such as Devere Hotels &amp; Resorts, are already showing interest in being part of future programming.</p>
