We hope you are having an enjoyable summer with your family and friends and are taking some time to plan your next vacation.

This newsletter will help. Inside you will discover how your exchange program is growing to meet your needs. In addition, you will learn more about one of my favorite year round destinations, the Stowe, Vermont area (I’ve been to both in February and June this year already!).  Known by many as the quintessential New England village with small shops, restaurants and white-spire churches, Stowe is a contrast of experiences. From the family focused Mountain Estates at Smugglers’ Notch, to the alpine themed Villas at Trapp Family Lodge to the exclusive Front Four at Stowe Mountain Lodge, I am confident you will find just the right experience for your traveling party.

I have been working with Cirque du Soleil on and off since 1993 and remain one of their biggest fans. For those of you who have yet to experience a show, we are proud to announce that for the next two years The Registry Collection^® program has renewed its sponsorship of the US traveling shows, KOOZA and OVO. We’ve arranged for two exciting opportunities for you, but hurry, we only have limited tickets for select US cities.

We are also excited to tell you that we now have limited access to inventory at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.  You have been asking us for availability in world class cities, so we invite you now to call your consultant to exchange into Hyatt Regency San Francisco as soon as you can. As you can imagine inventory is limited.

As a reminder, please be sure to try our new “Last Call Getaways” option, enabling you to exchange into resorts within 29 days of travel at exclusive pricing, only available through The Registry Collection program. Last Call Getaways are a great way to enjoy last-minute travel with service, style, and a stellar selection of popular destinations. Your Reservation Consultant can give you all the details.

Finally, I want to thank the nearly 2,000 of you who took the time to complete our online survey on the effectiveness of our website. We have already begun to address many of your suggested improvements and additions. For instance, we have immediately begun updating our sample availability every business day. You should see more subtle changes over the next few months and additional substitutive changes shortly thereafter. Tell us what you think. You don’t need to wait for a survey—we love hearing from you anytime.

Summer is flying by. Don’t let it get away without committing to take that next vacation. Talk it over and then talk to us. Your Reservation Consultant is ready to help.

Have a great summer,

Gregg Anderson
Vice President
