RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange and one of the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands (NYSE: WYN), today announced the addition of two affiliated resorts to its worldwide exchange network – The Viking Club Hotel in Egypt and The Jdoudna Hotel in Syria.

The Viking Club Hotel in Sharm el Sheikh is situated within walking distance of the famous Na’ama Bay district and offers a spectacular view of the bay. Na’ama Bay features world-class shopping, a wide array of restaurants and an energetic night scene. The resort has two swimming pools, a restaurant, dive centre and a private beach accessed by a regular shuttle bus service. The resort currently operates 180 units with a further 80 under construction as part of phase 2 of its development.

“RCI invented the exchange business over 35 years ago and has been the innovator and leader ever since. Their diverse selection of compelling resorts the world over deliver high quality vacations to their members. Being associated with RCI was important to The Viking Club Hotel, “said Eng. Ramadan Abdel Rehim Haggag, CEO of the Viking Group. “RCI offers an exciting mix of technological and market access, greatly enhancing the distribution of our resort by making it available to millions of RCI Members worldwide.”

The Jdoudna Hotel is located on the top of Syria’s Bloudan mountains, 1,800 metres above sea level, offering a magnificent view of the Bloudan Valley. The town, 65 km northwest of Damascus and 85 km from the Mediterranean, is surrounded by lush plantations of fruit trees during the summer and a covering of snow during the winter. All vacation homes feature beautiful views. The resort offers an indoor swimming pool, hot tub and the famous Jdoudna restaurant, offering delicious, traditional Syrian food.

“We are very excited to partner with RCI as doing so adds significant value to our offering,” said Mr. George Mansour, CEO of Jdoudna Company. “RCI offers our owners access to over 4,000 terrific resorts around the world, enabling them to travel extensively throughout MENA and around the globe. We’re glad we could provide this service to our community.”

The announcement was made during the Arabian Hotel Investment Conference in Dubai, UAE, attended by more than 600 senior executives from the hospitality, developer and real estate sectors from across the region and around the globe. A Shared Ownership Summit was held during the event and was co-hosted by RCI. The summit brought together leaders from the vacation ownership, fractional and private residence club industries. Discussions focused on the increasing relevance of shared ownership products to the continued growth and development of leisure products in the Middle East and North Africa. Industry leaders shared insights that will assist new entrants and discussed strategies that could lead to significant sales growth over the coming years.

“We are very pleased to expand our portfolio in the Middle East by welcoming The Viking Club Hotel and Jdoudna Hotel into the RCI network,” said Jonathan Back, managing director, RCI Europe, Middle East, Africa & India. “These beautiful resorts are tremendous additions to the collection of vacations resorts we offer our RCI ® Weeks members.”

“We are continually seeking new vacation destinations and experiences to offer RCI members in the Middle East and around the globe. The addition of The Viking Cub Hotel is very timely as we see tremendous demand from our 3.8 million members for Sharm el Sheikh”, added Jeff Tisdall, managing director, RCI Middle East. “The Jdoudna Hotel will enable our members to explore the natural beauty and rich history of Syria firsthand.”

A recent 2010 report published by RCI’s consulting arm NorthCourse found that Sharm el Sheikh was second only to Dubai as the preferred destination in which to own a vacation ownership interest.

RCI to co-host Shared Ownership Summit at the Middle East’s leading hotel investment event

RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange and one of the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands (NYSE: WYN), will partner with Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) and Bench Events, organizers of AHIC, to host industry leaders at the 2010 Middle East Shared Ownership Summit.

The Shared Ownership Summit is part of the three-day AHIC programme which will take place 1 -3 May at the Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, UAE, with the half-day Summit taking place on Saturday, 1 May. For a complete list of regional and international leaders who will be speaking at the Summit, please visit www.arabianconference.com.

Shared ownership refers to a set of leisure oriented real estate and hospitality products that include timeshare, fractional, private residence club and destination clubs. Timeshare, or vacation ownership as it is often called, is very well established in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) markets like Egypt with industry observers more recently noting the tremendous potential for both vacation ownership and fractional development in Dubai and other key Arabian Gulf leisure destinations.

Attendees will hear firsthand from the leaders of some of the most successful regional and global vacation ownership companies, whose experience will help highlight opportunities for growth in MENA. Similarly, leaders from companies who helped pioneer the luxury branded residential and private residence club concepts will serve as trend spotters as they consider how luxury brands will unlock value from real estate products in the future.

The Summit will offer significant value to timeshare and fractional developers as they share best practices, receive industry updates and explore new opportunities.

“The Shared Ownership Summit offers hospitality companies and mixed-use developers an efficient forum in which to better understand the immediate benefits and long-term value that vacation ownership can infuse in their overall business strategy,” said Jeff Tisdall, managing director, RCI MENA. “We are encouraged by the continued strong interest international vacation ownership companies are expressing in the Dubai market.

The Summit offers international companies a venue to explore opportunities to enter the regional market via partnership or through outright asset acquisition.”

“We are honoured to have such an experienced set of business leaders confirmed as Shared Ownership Summit speakers,” said Jonathan Worsley of Bench Events. “This really is an unprecedented gathering of vacation ownership, fractional and luxury residential development leaders.”

Summit attendees will not only receive a copy of the 2010 Shared Ownership Study including important global and regional industry updates, but also experience three essential panel discussions. The first panel will aim to provide attendees with the tools and insights they need to determine if now is the right time to add Shared Ownership to their business strategy. A second panel discussion focuses on the latest sales and marketing insights, solutions and alternative approaches to developing sales capabilities. The luxury segment discussion considers recent innovations in the category and takes a look forward to consider how luxury brands will unlock value from real estate products in the future.

“This is a very timely discussion as the Middle East and North Africa region has seen significant innovations in the luxury segment,” said Gregg Anderson, vice president, The Registry Collection program. “This is a great opportunity for firms to consider how they will position themselves to capture new opportunities in the future.”

In addition, Jeff Tisdall, managing director, RCI MENA, will offer a sneak preview of the Summit when he hosts a free webinar on 7 April. The webinar will share an advance look at trends and opportunities in hotel shared ownership and reveal the potential of timeshare, fractional and private residence club concepts to the real estate development and hospitality industry.

Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), is proud to welcome Porto Vacation Club to its exchange network. The vacation club initially will consist of units at Porto Marina, an exclusive, multi-use resort on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, with two additional resorts, Golf Porto Marina and Porto Sokhna, to follow.

Porto Vacation Club is the latest venture of the Amer Group, a leader in Egypt’s tourism, entertainment, and real estate industries for more than 20 years. One of its signature achievements is the creation of the “Porto World” concept that has evolved into a brand synonymous with gracious family lifestyle experiences and is evident in all aspects of its newly launched vacation club.

“The Amer Group is committed to showcasing Egypt’s global appeal, while pursuing excellence in all its endeavours,” noted Craig M. Nash, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Interval Leisure Group, parent company of Interval International. “We look forward to working with the well-respected Amer family as they enter the shared ownership industry with these outstanding resorts.”

“We are very pleased with the opportunities offered by our move into vacation ownership,” said Mansour Amer, chairman of the Amer Group. “Our emphasis on quality, which mirrors that of Interval International, is one of the primary reasons we selected their company to be our strategic partner.”

The Porto Marina complex is built on a truly grand scale featuring a broad, palm-lined promenade with 180 designer shops, 11 restaurants and al fresco cafes, and ending with a stunning white-sand beach. The mixed-use property has a total of 1,200 one- and two-bedroom apartments, and includes a 378-room luxury hotel with stunning views of the Mediterranean. Located in El Alamein, it is easily accessed by road from Cairo and Alexandria.

Porto Marina’s state-of-the-art 1,200-berth marina can accommodate crafts up to 100 metres in length and was the site of the 2007 World Powerboat Championship. Its spa is one of the largest and best-equipped wellness centres in the country, offering a range of therapies and treatments. Other resort amenities include five pools (four outdoor and one indoor) with water jets, slides and waterfalls, and activities ranging from tennis to parasailing. The Grand Canal (with gondolas) and Piazza de Espana, where plays and concerts are staged in a setting reminiscent of Rome’s Spanish Steps, give Porto Marina an international ambience.

Later this year, Golf Porto Marina will be added to the vacation club. Only five minutes from Porto Marina and also located on the Mediterranean, the resort will bring the first 18-hole championship golf course to the coast, along with Olympic City, a training facility for sports professionals. The mixed-use property covers 370 acres (150 hectares) and includes 5,100 apartments offering concierge and housekeeping services, as well as around-the-clock room service. In addition, the resort will ultimately have a luxury hotel, mega-mall with 200 shops, 12 restaurants, and a water park with Las Vegas-style dancing fountain.

Porto Sokhna, which overlooks the Red Sea, will add another range of two-bedroom apartments at the Group’s third mixed-use resort next year. Following Amer’s successful blueprint, this complex is being designed to blend 1,600 apartments housed in a pyramid-style building into a resort setting. Facilities are planned to include a 42-unit suite hotel, 18-hole championship golf course, spa, and mall with 150 shops. One of the 12 on-site restaurants — accessible only by cable car — will feature stunning views from an 886-foot (270 metre) mountaintop.

Ultimately, plans call for at least 200 units at each of the three resorts to participate in the vacation club programme, the majority of which will be two-bedroom units. Interval will provide exchange and membership services to members of the vacation club, as well as to full-time member residents owning whole units at the three Porto Vacation Club resorts who participate in the rental programme. This will include Interval Gold®, Interval’s upgraded membership tier with enhanced benefits.

“To have Porto Vacation Club affiliated with us is the first step in what we know will be a long-term relationship,” added David Clifton, managing director of Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia for Interval International. “We are excited about the Amer Group’s vision for ‘Creating Lifestyle Landmarks’ with world-class facilities for holidaymakers of all ages. Its flagship resort, Porto Marina, is already a favourite international gathering spot.”

If the world property market could be considered a heart and was connected to a hospital EKG machine, most doctors would declare that the market has flat lined. This is where the experts rush the patient to emergency procedure of cardio resuscitation sending thousands of volts through paddles in an attempt to restart the heart.

In today’s market place, many methods are being used in an attempt to restart the heartbeat of the market.

Investors are now offered in some markets, record low mortgage rates, while in others not equipped to offer these advantages are offering deep discounts. All of this is as best , entertaining for a seasoned investor who often takes a wait and see attitude and position.

However, in the a little known region to most of the world, but a more popular area to residents in the middle east, Sharm el Sheikh, a peninsula on the famous red sea, has created a little oasis that has more than a full pulse beating for it.

For starters the area has grown over a hundred percent in the last 4 years alone, stunning the conservative onlooker as to how they do it.

The sheer scale and size of the resorts and real estate projects in Sharm is also staggering, and prices continue to rise, while remaining friendly according to European valuations.
The area boasts several casinos, famous branded resorts such as Four Seasons, Marriott, and others have long since planted their flagship properties in this “Little Vegas” of the middle east. It has a reputation for some of the best diving in the world, with crystal clear blue seas covering majestic and rich corals.

A drive through this paradise area of Egypt will confirm that, due to its ideal climate and attractive nature, it attracts a full cosmopolitan assortment of tourists and investors from everywhere in the hemisphere.

World Class Group, a PR communications company that focuses its real estate consultancy on solutions for developers and investors, sees the perfect destination for the next wave of real estate success, fractional ownership in Sharm El Sheikh.

In the past, developers have been reluctant to look at this new real esate model as sales were brisk worldwide and overseas investors were able to secure finance as easily as collecting sand from the desert.

Today, however, this has hindered many investors, prompting many developers to offer modestly attractive in house finance.

Fractional Ownership, or what World Class CEO, Michael J. Tolan refers to as, property partnership, allows the average investor the opportunity to become a partner in an apartment or villa, and have not only usage for one month per year, but a potential investment strategy at a low entry fee.

“This is no invitation to sell distressed stock than otherwise has no value to consumers, as many successful fractional projects are high end up market investment properties” said Tolan.

Tolan believes that areas such as Sharm El Sheikh, Dubai and even nearby neighboring Lebanon, will become the trendy destinations to own a piece of the seashore without paying the earth, through fractional ownership. This is lifestyle product of real estate with the marriage of hospitality” he added.

“The potential is huge for investors and developers to embrace this next wave of real estate success, Fractional Ownership, which allows virtually everyone to own their part of a dream.” said Tolan.

Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services and an operating segment of Interval Leisure Group (Nasdaq: IILG), has announced the affiliation of Gardenia Resort, located in the holiday town of Hurghada on Egypt’s famed “Red Sea Riviera.”

“Today, we’re seeing that Egypt in general and the Red Sea in particular are proving more and more popular as year-round destinations. With the addition of this notable resort to our network, Interval will be better able to cater to the increased demand,” said Darren Ettridge, Interval International’s vice president of resort sales and service for Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

As real estate sales cool, Fractional ownership demand is heating up. A World Forum is gathering experts from around the world to educate developers.

The global economic meltdown which has been a catalyst for scores of banks and blue chip companies to plummet in value or actually fail has hit the real estate markets around the world head on.
Properties values in most major markets have witnessed huge percentages wiped off the previous market
values and has left many developers holding a bag of heavy bricks, due to the lack of consumer demand
and absence of readily available financing.

There is an old saying the ‘necessity is the mother of invention’, as many believe that the current situation
in world markets has driven a demand to discover new alternatives and new models.

One such model which has become the new buzz word among property professionals around the world is
fractional ownership, an alternative to traditional ownership, popular for the past 10 years in the USA.
Fractional Property Ownership provides a unique investment opportunity for the consumer by offering the
purchaser a percentage of ownership in a luxury residence with real equity.

There are products on the market today in the UK, France, Greece, Italy, and Dubai.
However, the fastest growing region today seems to be in Thailand, where the concept is now in full
bloom, putting smiles back on the faces of many developers and consumers.

As a result, the world’s experts are gathering in a forum in Phuket in October, creating a virtual university
of fractional ownership, through a series of workshops over the three day conference.

Developers from the UK, Italy, France, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Dubai, Bali will have the opportunity to be
updated on this latest phenomenon of real estate success during the conference with successful industry
leaders from around the globe.

The Registry Collection, a unique luxury service provider for prestigious developers is one of the main
sponsors, along with Absolute Resorts, the leader of Alternative ownership in the Asia-Pacific markets.
Delegates will have the opportunity to immerse themselves into the actual experience that their future
customers will enjoy as they will live on campus at a functioning fractional high end luxury resort while
attending accelerated learning courses throughout the day.

WorldClass-Uae.com, a PR and communications company based in the Middle East, will be leading a
trade delegation of developers to the conference from Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Dubai and the region.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity pollinate the knowledge base of our developer clients” said
Bassam Nakad, Vice President of the group based in Dubai. “This is forum not to be missed by serious
players around the world” he added.

Markets such as Cyprus and Dubai will benefit through attendance by discovering the proper integration of
the high standards required to create a fractional programme in order to offer real values to their clients” he
said.

The delegation will arrive in Phuket on the 10th of October, and will return on the 14th of October after
having completed a total orientation of all legal systems, management protocols and sales and marketing
workshops.
The deadline for joining the delegation is September 28.
