CARE Timeshare Conference Brings Together Industry Members May 17, 2011
Posted by John Stephens in : ARDA, News & Events, Timeshare Rental , trackbackIf you look closely on the homepage of our website, you’ll see the various business groups that we are a member of as we believe strongly in supporting business and timeshare industry organizations.
The Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers (CARE) is one of those groups and, while you may not have heard of them, they are one of the best organizations in the timeshare and vacation ownership industry.
Our Sales Director, Peter Emery, attended their latest conference earlier this week in Deerfield Beach, FL, and filled me in on their latest developments.
Now in their 26th year, CARE is a volunteer organization primarily made up of representatives of resorts, travel and vacation clubs and online rental companies who look to network in an effort to find the best vacation inventory possible for their customers. We participate in CARE because of the timeshare rental side of our business since CARE members often look to match up consumer requests for certain vacation destinations with the companies that can fulfill those requests.
These are the people on the front lines of the industry, so to speak, and they work very hard to make people’s vacation dreams come true. They are a fun group of people that knows how to throw a party and the majority of the conference is sponsored in order to keep the costs down. BuyaTimeshare.com was one of those sponsors and we are very proud to be a supporter of CARE.
The conference opened with a fundraising dinner highlighted by a combined live and silent auction that raised $13,500, which was used to offset conference costs. The first day was headlined by Bill Repp of Selling Smart, who facilitated workshops based on developing relationship-building skills in the workplace. The second day saw the president of the American Resort Development Association, Howard Nusbaum, address the group and discuss ways that the national trade association can help CARE improve its efforts to service its various customer and member bases.
There was also an awards dinner and an off-site reggae party that ended the conference on a perfect note.
So why should I tell you about this and why should you CARE about it? Sorry about the pun – not!
Because it is important for you to know that there are thousands of people who work in the timeshare and vacation ownership industry to make your vacations become reality. When you go searching the BuyaTimeshare.com website for a timeshare for sale or a timeshare for rent, there are not only owners advertising their timeshare on our site, but there are also potential vacationers looking for a great place to vacation. Making the connection between the two sometimes takes industry professionals to make that happen, whether it is our account executive creating the owner’s ad on our website or a representative from another company working on behalf of a potential buyer looking for a timeshare in a specific location. And every possible scenario in-between.
It really is a great industry to be a part of and we’re having a great time with it.
