MILWAUKEE, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ — News and updates about the cost of fuel seem to be everywhere this year. So much so, that it has rapidly become a top-of-the-list item in determining whether or not consumers have chosen to take a vacation. The consistent fluctuations in fuel costs, as well as the overall media buzz surrounding this topic, have both directly and indirectly impacted travel trends such as length of stay, choice of destination and how much people are spending. Most noticeable though, has been the additional costs that some people have been asked to pay to account for these increases, even after their packages have been paid for. And since no one likes to be surprised in this way, what is a vacationer to do?
(Logo: )
This reality has prompted United Vacations to take a hard look at what kind of innovative program would benefit the consumer in this type of environment, as well as give them the confidence to proceed with their travel plans without the worry and hassle about changes in fuel. After all, it should be about the joys of counting down the days until the dream of a vacation finally arrives — shouldn’t it?
This week, United Vacations announces the launch of its FuelSafe Program. A first of its kind in the industry, the program naturally serves as an extension of United Vacations’ overall mission and core focus — excellence in customer service throughout the complete vacation experience.
In its simplest form, FuelSafe protects the customer from airline fuel surcharge increases that may occur after the date in which they buy their vacation package. As a result, customers avoid having to pay more for their vacation whether they’re traveling next week, next month or next year. If the fuel surcharge happens to increase, United Vacations covers the cost. Thus, FuelSafe locks in the cost of fuel and protects the vacation investment.
The program is now an official part of United Vacations platform. This program applies to all destinations (operated by TMTC) and all vacation package types offered by United Vacations, and is available to travel agents through VAX VacationAccess(R) and consumers on Unitedvacations.com.
All that is required of the customer to receive the benefit of the FuelSafe program is to purchase the United Vacations Cancellation Waiver or the WorldCare(SM) Complete Coverage plan at the time of booking. The FuelSafe program falls under the umbrella of benefits of these two travel protection plans. The cost to include one of the two travel protection plans is minimal compared to recent airline fuel surcharge increases. The cost of the Cancellation Waiver is $39-$79 and the WorldCare(SM) Complete Coverage plan is $59-$129, depending upon destination.
“In a tough environment United Vacations recognizes the need to differentiate itself by giving customers a way to make their vacation plans happen with ease and confidence. FuelSafe gives them that sense of security by protecting them from any unforeseen costs. And for anyone who aims to stay within budget when planning their getaway, which is many of us these days, this program helps them do just that,” said Rick Karnes, vice president and general manager of United Vacations. “The addition of FuelSafe is just one more reason why it’s important to protect the vacation investment with our Cancellation Waiver or the WorldCare(SM) Complete Coverage plan.”
For more information regarding FuelSafe visit call 888-328-6877 or contact a travel agent.
United Vacations’ America, Canada, Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico and Ski programs are operated by The Mark Travel Corporation in Milwaukee, one of the largest vacation companies and operators of private-label brands in the United States.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. and INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ — Over 900 employees and families of Group RCI, a world leader in leisure real estate and one of the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands , gathered recently for the emotional reunion of RCI co-founder Christel DeHaan and many of her former RCI employees. The scene was a carnival-style block party at the Carmel-area campus of the world’s largest timeshare exchange company to raise funds for Christel House International, Group RCI’s global charity of choice. At the close of the event, DeHaan was presented with the unexpectedly sizeable donation of $100,000.

The 5-hour block party marked the celebratory conclusion of the ‘Summer of Christel House’, a six-week-long fundraising campaign created by RCI employees to raise both consciousness and cash for Christel House International which operates learning centers for impoverished children in Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa, India, and Indianapolis. Founded by DeHaan in 1998, the charitable organization seeks to break the cycle of poverty for children around the world and help them become contributing members of society.
“The passion demonstrated by the associates of RCI to help provide the 2,700 children of Christel House a better quality of life is both amazing and unprecedented,” marveled Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO of Group RCI. “Christel DeHaan created an incredibly caring culture at RCI many years ago based on honesty, integrity, sincerity and community service. It’s a culture which is alive and well nearly 35 years later. And it’s a culture I’m both honored and humbled to be associated with.”
Attendees of the celebration were treated to a musical performance by visiting Christel House South Africa students Angelique Blaauw, Nontando Bonga, and Kyle Daniels, led by Luis-Miguel Delgado, a business development account executive with Group RCI. Blaauw 16, talked about teamwork, shared goals, and the power of “we” — a message fitting the occasion.
Congratulating the crowd on their creativity and caring, DeHaan was preparing to accept the donation of monies raised by local RCI employees when it was revealed that those had been combined not only with contributions from global colleagues as well as block party proceeds but also a match from the company’s corporate office, a sum totaling $100,000.00. “There are not enough words to describe how I’m feeling,” choked an emotional DeHaan in response to the unexpected generosity. “From day one, RCI has distinguished itself through its people. This is a gift of love for which I am humbled and grateful.”

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa., Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ — Suntan lotion, flip-flops and an extra $500? The last thing travelers want to do is shell out any additional money on what they think is an already paid for vacation. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality for those who want to travel. If the cost of fuel increases, the cost of their vacation increases too. It is no wonder more and more people are staying home. Relief is here however, and it comes in the form of Apple Vacations all-new AVOK Plus Protection.
The all-new AVOK Plus Protection Plan ensures travelers a secured price on their vacation package regardless of the increase in the cost of fuel. AVOK Plus Protection also guarantees that if a discount is advertised on the exact same vacation that a client has booked, they can claim the savings prior to departure. Have to cancel your trip? Whatever the reason may be, AVOK Plus covers that too.
“Apple’s new protection is especially convenient for those who deposit on their trips and pay the balance later,” said Tim Mullen, Senior Vice President, Apple Vacations. “As fuel prices increased, travelers had to make up the difference, but now they won’t have to.”
Apple Vacations is providing travelers the all-new AVOK Plus Protection for only $20 with the purchase of the $49.99 original AVOK Protection, which provides coverage for pre-departure cancellations.

ABACO, The Bahamas, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ — The Ritz-Carlton Club has its sights on The Bahamas, and today the industry’s leading private residence club announces its expansion at The Abaco Club on Winding Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Managed Club.
A secluded residential development and sporting retreat, The Abaco Club offers more than two miles of pristine powder soft beaches, stunning turquoise waters and a multitude of activities from golf and fly fishing to horseback riding and a full-service spa. The fractional ownership, Ritz-Carlton Club, Abaco now joins the property’s existing real estate offerings of estate lots and turn-key cottages.
This fractional program is a points-based concept where Members have three membership options:
— Select Membership - 500 points
— Preferred Membership - 1,000 points
— Premium Membership - 1,500 points

With initial membership pricing starting at $110,000, Members receive points annually for use toward their vacations in Abaco. This approach provides increased flexibility as each Member can select the travel dates and residence floor plan best suited for their trip. Additionally, when choosing from the collection of homes, each residence is assigned a varying nightly point value.
The possibilities are endless on how a Member might enjoy their membership. For instance, a Member could elect to spend 14 nights (1,190 points) in a cliff-side cottage with the family to escape the winter chill, seven nights (280 points) in a similar cottage in summer while the kids are on vacation and four nights (30 points) in a cabana in the fall for a romantic getaway.*
“For those seeking a vacation home alternative in The Bahamas, The Ritz-Carlton Club provides a lifestyle like no other,” said Peter J. Watzka, executive vice president and chief operating officer for The Ritz- Carlton Development Company, Inc. (an affiliate of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C). “It affords a carefree home ownership experience, complete with a staff of dedicated Ladies and Gentlemen to assist Members with their every need. This island destination, and specifically The Abaco Club, is the ideal setting to expand our growing brand.”
Now in sales, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Abaco is targeted for first phase occupancy in December 2008, and ultimately offering 16 homes in the program. Furthermore, the concept grants a deeded interest as part of a Bahamian real estate trust. This approach allows Members to will the interest to their heirs, if desired. Membership also includes privileged access to the 7,183 yard / par 72, Scottish-style links golf course designed by Donald Steel and Tom Mackenzie - named number one in The Bahamas by Golfweek in 2007.
“The key ingredient to this new concept is Member feedback,” continued Watzka. “Our Members told us they are looking for enhanced flexibility when using their second homes. As a result, we designed a program as diverse as their travel plans.”
When making a reservation, Members may choose from four, fully furnished home options. The cabanas will provide approximately 570 square feet of living space. Overlooking Winding Bay, cliff-side cottages will include from two- to three-bedroom floor plans (roughly 1,656 - 2,385 square feet). Two-story, four-bedroom fairway villas (approximately 2,800 square feet) will meander along the golf course, and finally, two-story beachfront cottages will offer a three-bedroom floor plan at approximately 2,250 square feet. All homes will boast a blend of southern hospitality with large porches and comfortable furnishings, as well as a Caribbean color palette.
The Ritz-Carlton Club lifestyle is tailored to each Member’s preferences. Services include pre-arrival provisioning of the Member’s residence, such as pre-stocking of their refrigerator; concierge services; storage of personal items; assistance with travel arrangements; vacation activity planning; and twice-daily housekeeping. Ritz-Carlton Club Members will also take pleasure in the octagonally-designed clubhouse featuring gourmet dining and entertainment, as well as views of the bay and its double crescent shoreline. At the beach, Members will discover numerous water activities including snorkeling at a nearby coral reef, and Buster’s, a casual thatched-roof bar and grill at the water’s edge.
In addition, Members will have the option of traveling to other destinations through reciprocal use privileges at Ritz-Carlton Club locations from San Francisco to Aspen, Colo.
Architects collaborating on the fractional residence designs are Plan It Bahamas located in Nassau, The Bahamas, and Cooper Johnson Smith Architects, Inc. in Tampa, Fla.
