“Taking Ownership” – The RDO7 Conference Will be About Getting on Top of Our Game
“Taking Ownership” That’s the theme for the RDO7 Conference, which will be held this year from 20 to 22 September at the Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel & Spa, London. If we want more people to join the fun and take ownership of our timeshare resorts, we need to first step up as an industry and take ownership of our own game. It’s all too easy to lay the blame elsewhere when things are not going to plan. The economic crisis, negative press, timeshare scams and dodgy travel club operators… excuses are a dime a dozen, but they only weigh us down. Taking ownership means...
From Aha to Kerching!
The title of Guy Browning’s presentation on Day 2 of RDO6 at the Don Carlos Hotel in Marbella, Spain, somehow sums up this year’s conference - more on that presentation later. This year I think those of us on the Conference working group were seriously concerned as to whether we could produce an event that exceeded the standard reached in London last year at RDO5. We need not have been so worried. From Michael Jackson’s (the other one) opening, which so accurately reflected the theme for this year of “Embracing Change” and taught us how not to over-complicate things, to resist the...
RDO6 2015 Conference – What Is On The Agenda?
With just over a week to go to this year's Conference RDO6 “Embracing Change” in Marbella, it hardly seems possible that a whole year has flown by since we all gathered for 2014's "must not miss" European timeshare conference of the year.

Following the introduction of special rates this year to attract younger employees of...
The Games Afoot……
As Sherlock Holmes was fond of telling Watson before embarking on his next adventure. The summer break is over for most of us and here in the UK we have had our last bank holiday before Christmas – where does the year go! It’s a time for renewal – stiffening the sinews and all that (and in our case recovering from a 5 hour traffic jam on the A6 in France – all due to the fact they had failed to take in some cones once they had knocked off from work at 5 pm!) – queue a mad rush...
