The Registry Collection® Program Celebrates its 10-Year Anniversary
Parsippany, NJ (Jan. 30, 2012) — The Registry Collection® program, the world’s largest luxury exchange program and part of the Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) family of brands, is celebrating 10 years of sending members on luxury vacations around the world in 2012. To mark this special milestone, The Registry Collection program’s U.S and Canada offices announced a member giveaway for a chance to win a vacation as part of a larger anniversary campaign.
The Registry Collection program was launched in 2002 as the first ever luxury leisure real estate exchange company. Since that time, the program has grown to encompass more than 180 affiliated properties on six continents that are either accessible for exchange or under development, making it the largest luxury exchange program in the world. More than 33,000 members now belong to The Registry Collection program, which allows them to exchange for memorable vacations at beautiful properties year after year.
“The Registry Collection program has grown and developed substantially since its creation a decade ago, and there are many reasons to celebrate this special milestone,” said Gregg Anderson, global vice president of The Registry Collection program. “Naturally, we wanted our loyal members to join in on the fun of our 10-year anniversary festivities, and this giveaway will send one lucky grand prize winner on a week-long luxury vacation to one of our beautiful affiliated resorts.”
Members in the U.S. and Canada (excluding Québec)* can enter the contest once daily at www.TRCcelebration.com until Feb. 28, 2012 for their chance to win the grand prize: a week-long vacation for two, including accommodations at an available affiliated property, airfare and an additional $1,000 gift card. The prizes for three other giveaways, one for each quarter of 2012, will be announced later this year.
“The fun will continue with events, giveaways and activities to celebrate the success The Registry Collection program has had in its first decade,” continued Anderson. “We’ll highlight original members and affiliated resorts, and make some exciting announcements about the future of the program that will benefit both our members and our developer partners."
Throughout the 10-year celebration, there is also a call for photos and stories from members of The Registry Collection program. Members from all over the world are encouraged to submit their favorite photos and memories of their vacations through the program over the years for possible inclusion in newsletters and websites.
In addition, The Registry Collection program’s regional offices outside of the U.S. and Canada will be announcing special events for their resident members throughout the year.
