The day-long conference, for which our sister site Fractional Life is a Silver Sponsor, will be an essential forum for hoteliers, resort owners, real estate developers, investors and hospitality consultants to understand and explore the benefits of shared ownership and the ways in which it can be successfully integrated into leisure real-estate developments to maximize the revenue potential of available assets.

"RCI was early to advance the case for timeshare development in India,” said Geoff Ballotti, CEO, RCI. “And the tremendous success that RCI’s affiliates have experienced across the country over the past 20 years confirms the opportunity for all developers of real estate to explore the many benefits that shared ownership has to offer. Our operations, marketing and business development teams in our offices across India remain more committed than ever to helping our developers capitalize on the significant demand for their vacation offerings and services that is growing in India today."

The conference will also provide an opportunity for speakers to share their vast knowledge through panel discussions on critical industry issues including challenges and solutions for entering the business, leisure real estate opportunities for the luxury market in India, legal dynamics of fractional ownership, industry innovations and implementation of best practices within the industry. 

“Travel and tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in India, with timeshare doing particularly well,” said Radhika Shastry, managing director, RCI India. “This is due to improvements in infrastructure coupled with rising disposable income and a desire for unique holiday experiences.
