RCI – How to buy property in one country and enjoy holidays around the world?

[Batumi, Georgia, June 27, 2023] RCI is a global hotel exchange system.

How the RCI network started

In 1974, in the US state of Indiana, Jon and Christel DeHaan founded the RCI vacation exchange network, which changed the history and perceptions of travel, opening up the whole world to vacation property owners.

The idea was simple, like all genius. By owning a second home (or, more commonly, hotel rooms), the owner can lend it to other homeowners in exchange for vacations in their homes. Therefore, the network members were not tied to one place for vacation and got the opportunity to enjoy holidays in a new place every time.

Over time, RCI has become the largest exchange network in the world. Today, it includes 110 countries and about 4,500 hotels where network members can stay for free, and about 600,000 (!) hotels where you can get discounts up to 60%.

What vacation exchange members get

Such a network is especially valuable nowadays, when such investments as buying hotel rooms have gained mass popularity in the world.

The fact is that the world’s leading hotel chains provide their guests with not only “square meters” for living, but also a huge range of services. The members of the RCI network exchange with each other not just living space, but all these services.

These are transport, yachting, excursions, restaurants, swimming pools, fitness centers, SPA, massage parlors, baths, water parks and many other entertainments. Members of the network can exchange their hotel room not just for another room, but for a sea cruise, luxury car rental or a vacation on a yacht.

As the hospitality industry has evolved, so has the meaning of RCI. Today it is no longer a story about one or two vacations a year. This is a story about a five-star life in general and an open world, the era of “great geographical discoveries” for every individual.

A hotel as a place for leisure and work

Today, leading hotel chains provide travelers with not only entertainment, but also everything necessary for a fulfilling life. For example, children’s leisure or business infrastructure.

Parents can be sure that their kids will be looked after by staff while relaxing. Hotel conference rooms, meeting rooms, co-working spaces, etc. allow you to combine leisure and travel with work.

Top-level hotel brands can even include their own medical clinic in their infrastructure (as, for example, in the Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio hotel complex under construction in Georgia).

Vacation exchange for owners at Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio

Owners of rooms at Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio get access to vacation exchange. Until construction is completed, the ITC programme is available; after the complex opens, owners join RCI with 4,500+ hotels worldwide.

By purchasing a hotel room at Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio, you can fill your life with five-star comfort, solve all domestic problems, and have time to travel worldwide.

Vacation exchange as part of your investment

Moreover, today RCI is not just a tourist tool and a comfort zone, but also a profitable investment. After all, many members of the network have several units of real estate.

Therefore, many people buy two or more properties in order to have more points. But then people have vacation “surpluses”. In this case, RCI allows you to monetize this extra time by selling it. That is, the owner begins to receive passive income from his property.

Vacation exchange complements room ownership: you can holiday in your own hotel or in partner hotels in different countries.

Good luck with your investment, a comfortable five-star life and exploring many new countries!
