RCI, part of the Wyndham Worldwide, has added more than 170 new affiliated resorts to its exchange network in 2015. The additions, which include some resorts currently under construction, span all over the world.
“The RCI exchange network is known for both its breadth and quality of resorts and these 170 new affiliated properties contribute to the variety of vacation options we offer our 3.8 million subscribing members,” said Gordon Gurnik, president, RCI.
The resort additions were highlighted by 19 newly affiliated Iberoclub properties in destinations, including Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel, Mexico; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and Bayahibe Beach, Dominican Republic. The Iberostar Punta Cana is a recently renovated, all-inclusive resort located along the Bavaro Beach on the island’s northeast coast of the Dominican Republic. In Asia, the RCI network added more than 25 new affiliated properties to its portfolio, including four resorts with Paxton Vacances Hotel Management Group.
Existing affiliations added many new resorts to the exchange network as well. Sterling Holiday Resorts added six new properties in India, including Dindi by the Godavardi which is located on the lap of the Godavari River.
Additionally, four properties from Bluegreen Vacations Unlimited joined RCI’s network, including The Club at Big Bear Village in Southern California. The Registry Collection program, RCI’s luxury exchange program, welcomed Elephant Point Estate in South Africa.
