Holiday Resales Timeshare Exchange Webinar Uncovers Secrets

Timeshare exchange is one of the biggest benefits of timeshare ownership, yet many owners don't know how to take advantage of it.

SEATTLE, WA – July 10, 2007

Holiday Resales, a division of Holiday Group, just concluded its Secrets to Timeshare Exchange virtual seminar, the second one it has hosted live on the Web. Web seminars, popularly referred to as webinars, are a convenient alternative to traditional seminars, allowing people to participate via computer from the comfort of their own homes.

The Secrets to Timeshare Exchange webinar was hosted from the company's Seattle headquarters by Holiday's reservation specialist, Maria Martinez. "She makes more timeshare exchanges in a week than most people do in a lifetime, said Gail Bennett, Director of Sales for Holiday. "If anyone knows the tricks of timeshare exchange, it’s Maria."

While resort exchanges are one of the most important tools owners can use to maximize their vacation enjoyment (80% of purchases are with this intention), exchanges are also among the least understood aspects of timesharing. "I wanted to lay out the steps for making successful exchanges," said Martinez. "This is especially important for new owners to understand, since they're the ones most likely to be confused by the process."

Holiday's webinars are hosted by experts in the timesharing community, and are free and open to the public. They are designed to educate timeshare owners as well as those who are considering buying. "We feel that the more consumers understand how timeshare works, the better it is for the whole industry," noted Bennett. Visit www.holidaygroup.com/webinar for more information, or simply email webinars@holidaygroup.com.

The Secrets to Timeshare Exchange webinar concluded with an extended question and answer session. "Most people wanted to know how to make the best exchanges, of course." Martinez said. "I would say the most important thing is to have realistic expectations. Don't expect to exchange a blue week for a red week, or a less popular destination for one that's really popular. It's also important to be flexible about what you want. And be sure to be patient when you're doing your searches."

Holiday's next webinar, Use Your Timeshare To the Max, occurs July 25, and will be hosted by Lisa Ann Schreier, author of Timeshare Vacations For Dummies. People interested in participating can go to https://www.gotomeeting.com/register/952751513?jmid=995494607 for registration information.
