It’s summertime!

If you are like most of us who have been swept up in World Cup mania, it has been an exciting summer so far. Watching the teams from 32 countries compete in this global sport showcase reminds us how diverse our cultures are and why traveling is the best way to explore the world around us. 

Helping you to explore other places is what we at The Registry Collection^® program do best, and in this edition of The Registry Insider you will learn about some exciting new developments that I am certain will help you find that next memorable place to visit.

As you may know, Wyndham Worldwide is the parent company of The Registry Collection program and Wyndham Vacation Ownership has a select portfolio of inventory that members of The Registry Collection program can exchange into at very favorable credit amounts. While we only have room to highlight three of them for you here, there are a number of other great locations in the Wyndham Vacation Ownership family for you to choose from.

I love to cruise. It’s one of life’s travel pleasures to have someone else “drive,” cook, plan the activities and clean up all while seeing incredible scenery and exciting ports of call each and every day. That’s why I am so excited to tell you more about our latest addition to The Registry Collection program, Luxury Cruise Vacations. I just booked a 7-night cruise on Holland America’s ms Maasdam traveling through New England and Eastern Canada using the Luxury Cruise Vacation option, which allowed me to purchase my cruise without using credits and get a “Best Price Guarantee.”  I did the research right on our Web site before making the call to the Luxury Cruise Concierge.  Look for a photo from my trip in a future newsletter!

In addition to the distinctive US properties listed in this newsletter, be sure to click on the Sample Availability link where you’ll notice a number of new properties listed.  We are happy to announce inventory is now available in Scotland at The Village at Machrihanish Dunes, and in Brazil at both Itacaré Paradise and Aguativa Privilege. Check back often at our Web site—new resorts and inventory are being added on a regular basis.

Finally, I would like to thank all of our members who have been depositing their weeks to fuel our program. We’d like to call your attention to a very special offer for those of you willing to deposit your high season weeks with us. All the details are inside this edition.

Have a wonderful summer,

Gregg Anderson
Global Vice President
