Due to the current state of the U.S. economy, Leah Powell, president of
Trade to Travel, has recently been contacted by both CBS News and CNBC's
"High Net Worth" to participate in stories on ways Americans can save money
on travel and "House Swapping for The Rich." When preparing information for
the two news organizations, Leah wrote a cost comparison which dramatically
contrasts the costs of Trade to Travel to those of Destination Clubs (see
below). The comparison explains that not only does vacation home exchange
save members large sums of money, it is also "green." So, via Trade to
Travel, owners of fine properties (whether wholly owned or fractional
ownership) save 80% on luxury travel worldwide and help save the planet at
the same time.

Destination clubs have been "king of the mountain" in the luxury
vacations industry for about a decade, but may soon be dethroned by Trade to
Travel (TTT).
Here's why:
Trade to Travel vs. Destination Clubs
Exclusive Resorts' membership fee for 60 days/year is $479,900. Trade to
Travel's membership fee for unlimited days is $2495.
If you don't currently own a vacation home, you can get into the luxury
property exchange game by owning as little as 1/10 of a luxury property
(it's called "fractional ownership" and it's currently the hottest trend in
luxury real estate in the U.S.). Last year, for the first time, luxury
fractional sales exceeded whole ownership sales in Aspen. Plus, fractional
ownership and vacation property exchange are both "green," so not only does
TTT save its members enormous sums of money, it's playing a role in saving
the planet. Trade to Travel says, "Let's Share."
Exclusive Resorts' annual fee for 60 days is $59,900. Trade to Travel's
annual fee for unlimited days is $99.
TTT charges 20% of the value of the accommodation each time we arrange
for you to enjoy a fabulous property. You save 80%.
Exclusive Resorts charges an extra $59,000 if you want a major holiday.
Trade to Travel charges NOTHING extra for holidays.
Exclusive Resorts charges $19,900 if you would like to let your adult
children, parents, or siblings enjoy a property without you or your spouse
present.
Trade to Travel says, "Are you KIDDING???"
Trade to Travel has more properties in more countries valued between $1M
and $20M than Exclusive Resorts. The average value of Exclusive Resorts'
properties is $2.5M. TTT currently has 25 properties valued at $4M - $20M.
TTT has been in business for 17 years and the combined value of its
members' properties is over $1 Billion.
Several years ago, Michael Espindle, Managing Editor of Elite Traveler
magazine said, "Trade to Travel is the biggest news in the luxury travel
industry since the advent of destination clubs." But it's even better than
that. TTT wasn't born after destination clubs, it was born before them.
Trade to Travel has been in business for nearly two decades and they know
what they're doing. So, the only real question is, "Where to?"
