“There is a real buzz about the industry across Europe now with increasing levels of interest in a product that offers both a luxury lifestyle and unparalleled value,” said Gregg Anderson, Vice President of Global Product Management for The Registry Collection exchange programme. “For that reason we know it is important to support The Fractional Life Summit – Europe’s only dedicated meeting place for industry players. My colleagues and I very much look forward to meeting with those who have identified the tremendous opportunities in the fractional market at this event and want to work with us to unlock the potential in their developments, as well as welcoming members of the press to our press conference luncheon.”

Piers Brown, founder of Fractional Life, said: “We are excited to have the participation of The Registry Collection at the 2009 Summit. This brand provides fractional owners with access to some of the world’s finest vacation properties and delivers the level of service they expect.”

The Registry Collection exchange programme pioneered the concept of exchanging luxury fractional ownership properties when it was launched in the United States seven years ago. Today, there are more than 160 properties available through the programme that are either accessible for exchange or under development across five continents. Over 30,000 members enjoy the benefits of the exceptional quality and unsurpassed service in their holiday homes that membership to The Registry Collection exchange programme brings.

Apart from providing support and consultancy services to fractional developers, The Registry Collection exchange programme provides developers with many benefits to help distinguish their offering. These include an Early Privilege Programme enabling purchasers who buy off plan to start holidaying in The Registry Collection’s portfolio of superb properties while waiting for completion of their own development. A 24-hour concierge service is also available to members, together with access to savings and privileges on a number of luxury products and services through The Collection Partners exchange programme.
