DAE Celebrates International Timeshare Appreciation Day

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - November 1st, 2013 - Friday November 1 is International Timeshare Appreciation Day, and worldwide vacation exchange company DAE is once again getting behind the annual global celebration of timeshare and vacation ownership.

DAE is encouraging all owners and businesses involved in the timeshare industry to get on board with International Timeshare Appreciation Day by sharing their positive stories and experiences of timeshare through social media, word of mouth, or telling DAE what they love about timeshare.     

“Timeshare owners and those that work in the industry know what fantastic vacation options are available through timeshare,” said Francis Taylor, CEO of DAE. “We are proud to be part of an industry that creates so many happy memories for so many people.”

International Timeshare Appreciation Day is an opportunity to help focus positive attention on vacation ownership and the benefits that flow from it.

An initiative of Lisa Ann Schreier, known as "The Timeshare Crusader," International Timeshare Appreciation Day was launched in 2012 to get "people and organisations from around the world to join together and celebrate all the great things about timeshare.”

“Timeshare has come such a long way in recent years - owners now have access to bonus weeks, exchanges, low cost rentals and other promotions, all adding value to their purchase,” said Mr Taylor.

“For DAE, recognising our involvement in such a vibrant and successful industry is cause for celebration.

“From a growing choice of destinations and exchange options around the world, to global best-practice and customer-focused service, we are and always will be in the business of sending people on the vacation of their dreams – what’s not to love about that!”
