Holiday Group Shines Spotlight on Orlando Timeshares

Timeshare Webinar highlights the many timeshare resorts of Orlando.

SEATTLE, WA – June 5, 2008

Say the word "timeshare" and a lot of people think of Orlando, and with good reason. "America's Playground" is one of the most popular timeshare vacation destinations in the world.

Holiday Resales, a division of Holiday Group, has announced its next virtual seminar, "Orlando and Timeshare." The seminar will take place on Wednesday, June 18, from 5:30 p.m to 6:00 p.m. PDT. Participation is open to the public. Please visit https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/710130408?jmid=19609&j=112804211 for information on registration, or email to webinars@holidaygroup.com.

The "Orlando and Timeshare" webinar will feature vacation lifestyle expert and writer, Lisa Ann Schreier, who will join the seminar live from Orlando. "Orlando represents both the best and the worst of timeshare. This webinar will answer questions people have about Orlando timeshare and point them in the right direction," said Schreier, author of "Timeshare Vacations For Dummies."

Web seminars, popularly referred to as webinars, are a convenient alternative to traditional seminars, allowing people to participate via their computers from home or work. Attendees see and hear the live seminar, and can even interact with questions or comments of their own.

Topics for the "Orlando and Timeshare" webinar will include: The best resorts for "pampering," golf, and families; favorite places in Orlando; tips for booking reservations; getting around Orlando; theme park discounts; and more. After the presentation, Ms. Schreier will take questions from the participants.

Holiday's Director of Sales, Gail Bennett, will host the webinar. "Orlando is the vacation capital of the world, so we are very excited about featuring Lisa, who lives there and will share her wealth of knowledge and expertise about this market," Bennett said. "Our listeners are in for a treat as we explore Orlando."

This will be Holiday's seventh timeshare webinar (http://www.holidaygroup.com/webinar). Bennett noted that the informative content and convenience of participation create an ideal environment for both timeshare owners and prospective buyers to learn about the intricacies of the vacation ownership industry. "We have so many customers asking questions about vacation destinations, where to stay, what to do, how to make exchanges, and this is an excellent platform to communicate that information." Due to widespread interest in the Orlando timeshare market, a record audience is expected for the webinar.

"For a lot of people, Orlando is a terrific place to own a timeshare," Schreier said, "but for others, it's the absolute wrong place. I encourage timeshare owners as well as those thinking about buying an Orlando timeshare to join in our discussion to learn more."

Holiday's webinars offer real-world knowledge about timesharing in a low-pressure, consumer-friendly environment. The "Orlando and Timeshare" webinar will last about 30 minutes and then be followed by a question and answer session. "Holiday is always striving to be an objective, unbiased resource for the timeshare consumer," said Bennett. "Our 'Explore Series' of webinars is one way we're fulfilling that role."
