Timeshare travel is of great significance to the Chinese travel industry and the growth of the Chinese economy. According to the report "Timeshare travel enters China" found in the 1 February 2001 edition of the Newspaper Reference, "Currently there are over 80 million square metres of vacant real estate in China with most concentrated around travel destinations. Statistics indicate that a vacation exchange network of over 1 million members can contribute RMB 50-70 billion to the Chinese economy, fill up 3 to 5 million square metres of empty real estate and create 20,000 jobs."

Time-share development to open in Williamsburg area
Bermuda-style and golf-oriented resort under construction next to the Williamsburg Country Club is set to welcome its first guests in June — more than three years after York County officials approved the project.The development will eventually include 784 condolike time-share units in the Parkside Resort, in addition to more than 40 stand-alone buildings — with shared ownership — in the Parkside Golf Villas. The project is being constructed in a highly visible 64-acre area along Merrimac Trail that is adjacent to the Williamsburg Country Club and the Interstate 64 interchange that serves as the entrance to Busch Gardens.Dan Carter, vice president of sales and marketing for Parkside Resort, said the Landmark Resort Properties of Virginia development's amenities — including guaranteed when-in-residence country club privileges for golf villa owners and a limited number of based-on-availability passes for time-share patrons — would appeal to baby boomers and avid golfers.

RCI Points Timeshare - How does the RCI Points Program Work?
Resort Condominiums International (RCI) is the world’s largest timeshare vacation exchange company. In addition to regular fixed week timeshares, they now offer the RCI Points program which allows you to be much more flexible in how you use your vacation time.
If you own a vacation week at an RCI Weeks Resort, you can convert your vacation week into RCI Points. Or if you already have points, you can also deposit additional vacation weeks in exchange for points if you need more during a particular year. This gives you the ultimate flexibility because you can use your RCI Points in a much more flexible manner than a standard RCI Weeks membership. This does not mean that you are giving up ownership of your timeshare if you convert your RCI Weeks to RCI Points. All you are doing is adding a new option to your current RCI vacation plan.
There is an assigned RCI Points value for all RCI units and time frames. You can use your RCI Points for an RCI Weeks vacation spot, as well as using it at resorts that are already within the Points-based system. The number of point needed for a RCI Week vary according to location but a ball park figure is about 50,000 RCI Points for a gold 2-bedroom unit.
RCI Points membership has an annual fee attached which covers the exchange privileges. For a membership of 1 or 2 years duration, the fee is $99 (USD) per year. For a longer membership, up to 5 years, the fee is $93 (USD) per year.
This fee is in addition to your maintenance fee at your resort and naturally maintenance fees vary based on where your timeshare is located and what amenities it offers. So if you are looking to purchase your first RCI Points membership, then it makes sense to shop around for a deal featuring the most number of points for the lowest maintenance fee you can find, especially if you don’t intend to vacation at the same resort every year.
