In front of thousands of vacation ownership industry leaders at the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) 2010 Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada, RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange, and InnSeason Resorts®, creators of the Northeast Experience® and leading providers of resort vacation and ownership opportunities, celebrated a new multi-year affiliation relationship that will allow eligible InnSeason owners who become RCI members access to a broad array of exciting vacation opportunities.
“We’re very proud to celebrate this new relationship with InnSeason Resorts, a renowned and storied vacation brand steeped in New England charm and tradition,” said Geoff Ballotti, CEO, RCI. “It’s truly an honor to welcome this quality organization into the RCI network of over 4,000 affiliated resorts and we’re thrilled to be able to offer our members the opportunity to vacation on more Cape Cod beaches and across more great ski and golf resorts with InnSeason.”

The RCI TV application for the iPhone and iPod® touch, currently available through the Apple® store, grants users immediate access to the quality destination videos currently available on RCI.com that they can then share or save.

“We continue working to improve our technology initiatives and look forward to working closely with InnSeason Resorts to build new and innovative programs that will provide even more member benefits and opportunities,” said Ballotti.
