NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2008 — Information Management Network (IMN) is pleased to announce the second edition of its esteemed Destination Club & Private Residence Club Industry Symposium (http://www.imn.org/eej1085/pr). With the considerable success of the 2007 Symposium, which was attended by more than 250 industry professionals, this event deals equally with the issues and evolution of Destination Clubs and PRCs. The Symposium will take place at the Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort in Miami, FL on May 29-30, 2008.
"The 2007 Destination Club & Private Residence Club Industry Symposium was a valuable forum for both industry professionals and developers considering starting a Destination Club or Private Residence Club. It brought greater clarity to the differences of various product offerings and business models and the required disciplines necessary to succeed in these businesses. Attendees were able to gain considerable knowledge directly from senior management of the leading companies in the industry and the hard learned lessons of starting a club and what pitfalls to avoid," says Neal Rubin, Senior Vice President, Ultimate Resort.
This burgeoning industry has been bursting with change over the past year. From consolidation amongst Destination Clubs to growth in PRCs and the emergence of new hybrid business models, brands and independent developers are currently exploring the opportunities that this market offers, and industry growth looks set to continue. Balancing these industry developments against the backdrop of turmoil in the credit markets, the Symposium addresses such critical questions as:
— What hot spots are seeing growth in the fractional market?
— Will 2008 see a massive growth in membership for Destination Clubs and PRCs?
— How has the credit crash impacted this market?
— Are all quality tiers affected equally?
