Exclusive Introduces New Suite of Membership Plans
MAY 1, 2008. Exclusive Resorts, the world's leading luxury destination club, recently announced a new suite of membership plans, making the club's vacation offerings the most flexible in the industry.
This new suite of membership plans once again demonstrates Exclusive Resorts' ongoing commitment to innovation and the club's ability to creatively respond to the needs of affluent travelers. With plans now ranging from 10 to 60 days each year and options to customize their plans with priority holiday access or family sharing privileges, members can tailor their membership plans and vacation exactly as they wish.
"Our new membership plans are the result of more than five years of listening to member feedback, surveying the marketplace and monitoring how our members use their club memberships," said Jeff Potter, chief executive officer. "Today, more than ever, time off with family and friends is extremely valuable. And for something as important and personal as vacation time, consumers want maximum choice and flexibility. Our new membership plans offer greater flexibility than ever before, allowing members to create plans to suit their specific needs so their only challenge as members is deciding where to go." Choice is a hallmark of the Exclusive Resorts experience, as all Exclusive Resorts members enjoy access to hundreds of luxury residences in dozens of the world's most desirable destinations, plus a variety of unique travel experiences through the club's innovative Once in a Lifetime program.
By choosing from a number of options to customize their plans, Exclusive Resorts members can now purchase just the level of access that they need. Continued Potter, "Over the years, we have learned that many people, especially baby boomers and empty-nesters, would like to travel 40 or more days per year with the club, but tend not to vacation during peak travel times and do not want to pay a premium for holiday access. On the other hand, professionals with children consistently tell us they want to travel during school holidays, but generally do not have more than 20 or 30 days to vacation each year. Exclusive Resorts' new membership plans allow people to choose what works best for them."
These new membership plans offer members access to the same portfolio of luxury residences and incomparable services and amenities that have made Exclusive Resorts the leader in the destination club industry and the benchmark in luxury travel. Introductory prices for the new plans begin as low as $139,900 for a 10-day plan, and one-time fees to join are mostly refundable. Also, should their needs change in the future, Exclusive Resorts members can upgrade or change their membership plan level.
