You, Barry and Henry: What you have in common.

By David Skinner,
President, Holiday Group

If you don’t at first recognize these names, here’s a quick review:

Henry Silverman, through his ownership of Cendant Corporation owns the three largest real estate franchises, Coldwell Banker, Century 21 and ERA; the hospitality providers Amerihost Inn, Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Ramada Inn, Super 8, Travelodge, and Wingate Inn amongst others; Car Rental company Avis and currently bidding on Budget; the travel providers Galileo, Trip.com and Cheap Tickets; and in the timeshare arena, Resort Condominiums International (RCI), Fairfield Resorts and most recently Trendwest Resorts.  Henry believes in cross marketing between real estate buyers, travelers and dedicated vacationers. Is he right?

You, after years of hard work, raising a family and saving a pension, have arrived at a place where you deserve to be rewarded. You owe it to yourself to enjoy life and to share it with those you love. You, through your research or perhaps a friend’s advice, have discovered timeshare resales and the Holiday web site. You, like Barry and Henry, have arrived at the obvious conclusion: The future of the leisure travel industry is timesharing. You believe like Barry that if it ain’t entertaining it ain’t a vacation and like Henry it’s better to own than to rent.  

While the comparison may end there between them and you or I, the underlying truth does not. Timesharing is the fastest growing part of the leisure industry and resales make the most sense. They offer a lot of fun and satisfaction at a great price. And you are right!

In the end, whether you’re a savvy empire builder, an industry mogul or just a regular Joe or Jill, there is one thing that makes us all equal: Your chance at reaching personal happiness is just as great as anyone’s. I hope Holiday can help you fulfill this opportunity.
