Timeshare Exchange Expert to Provide Global Assessment at Shared Ownership Expo GNEX 2011

April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Timeshare and fractional industry independent multi-media information leader Perspective Magazine announces that Francis Taylor, CEO of Dial An Exchange (DAE), will provide expert analysis of the timeshare exchange marketplace during the Global Networking Expo, GNEX 2011.

DAE is now the largest independent timeshare exchange provider in the world, servicing a global market from offices in the USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China, Thailand and India. Mr. Taylor has steadfastly modeled the DAE business simply based on keeping its members happy while delivering on its promises. Members can access live availability online 24/7 and can search, hold, book and confirm in real time, making the exchange process simple.

Mr. Taylor’s position atop DAE allows him to see the industry from a unique, global perspective and bring an independent viewpoint to the discussion regarding timeshare exchange and how best to meet the needs of changing consumer behavior.  

“Since we began in 1997, we’ve seen the landscape evolve dramatically and it’s more than just keeping pace with, or reacting to, the growing expectations of the timeshare consumer that has seen DAE achieve such impressive growth,” said Mr. Taylor. “We are future-driven and totally dedicated to looking at ways to exceed consumer expectations and develop products and services that they didn’t even know they wanted!”

“Today’s consumer is savvy - they’re informed and connected - and talking to each other! Giving them only the basics of what they require isn’t going to be enough. Exchange providers need to add real value and provide a personal connection ‘above and beyond’ if they want to win hearts and minds.”

GNEX 2011 is scheduled for May 11th – 12th, 2011 at the fantastic Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas, and Mr. Taylor will be participating in the “How & Why The Exchange Business Is Evolving” session during Day One of the expo.

Craig Nash, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Interval Leisure Group and Ron Kurtz, president of the American Affluence Research Center, will be keynote speakers for the event and add exceptional insight to the changing forces of the vacation ownership industry.

Two full days of interactive workshops, inspiring sessions and networking opportunities will highlight the event as business leaders from five continents gather to discuss the growth potential of the industry. A welcome reception, exhibitor hall and new networking features are key elements of the expo.

The event will also feature the inaugural Perspective Magazine Awards Gala, where entrants will gather to crown the “Best In Region” and “Best In The World” award winners from their respective categories.
