Your Professional Resort Management Partner
Trading Places International® the full spectrum of services
required in the operation of vacation ownership resorts. Beginning
with collateral marketing materials and through to owner resale
services, Trading Places International is consumer-focused and
tailors its services to each resort's unique requirement.
Trading Places International is committed to the highest level of quality and, at the same time, recognizes the need to keep expenses low and offset expenses with income. We work in partnership with the resort to generate a profit for the owner's association through the resort's on-site revenue centers. With this approach, maintenance fees don't consume all of the resort's operating expenses, and resort management fees are kept at a surprisingly low level.
Reservations Call Center
Trading Places is committed to One Call efficiency. Callers can book use time, rentals, make an exchange, buy an airline ticket, reserve a car, book tee times, book a cruise, and more…all on the same toll-free call. Call center representatives are professionally trained and travel extensively themselves. These friendly professionals can facilitate all vacation planning, from the most complex multi-destination vacation to the simplest bonus time reservation.
