RCI

RCI was the first company to offer exchange services to vacation owners. In 1995, RCI confirmed 1,562,594 exchanges. With an average of 3.6 people per exchange party, RCI sent more than 5.6 million travelers to vacation destinations around the world in 1995.

Recognizing that timesharing was destined to become a global product, RCI was the first vacation exchange company to open overseas offices. Today, RCI has offices in 33 countries, publishes its resort directory information in 20 languages, and plans to move into new areas as timesharing continues to develop.

RCI was the first vacation exchange company to invest in state-of-the-art technology -- the first to build a fully automated global exchange system. Today, RCI's IBM ES/9000-952 mainframe computer operates in "real time," updating RCI's exchange activity around the world instantly.

RCI has played a major role in the passage of timesharing legislation to protect the interests of both the industry and timeshare consumers. The company continues to work with industry professionals; local, national and international organizations; and governmental agencies to strengthen industry standards, to promote consumer education, and to create better business climates for the timesharing industry.

Being at the forefront of an industry means facing challenges head-on. RCI understands the complexities of timesharing and is positioned to serve as a global leader and information resource within the industry. RCI uses it leadership position, global network, experience, and credibility to assist industry participants in establishing strategic alliances and developing new markets.
