The South Africa office of timeshare exchange provider Dial An Exchange (DAE) announces strong growth figures for 2012 that reflect the acceptance the company has received across the region. An increase of 17 percent across all transactions compared to 2011 numbers demonstrates the rise of the company’s profile in the area, with membership numbers up 9 percent and a nearly 22 percent improvement in Bonus Week transactions. Exchanges went up 27 percent and membership in the exclusive Gold Advantage Program shot up 66 percent year over year. The growth was not limited to member transactions, as DAE forged new strategic partnerships with Platinum Vacation Club, Lifestyle Vacation Club and Matembe Leisure as the company looks to extend its brand across different products. Agreements were also signed with Dikhololo Game Reserve, Mount Amanzi Lodge and Ngwenya Lodge to allow DAE services to be promoted directly to owners with the support of resort management. “We are very excited about the growth we’ve seen in South Africa and the possibilities which exist as we expand our brand throughout the country and across southern Africa,” said Paul Edkins of Dial An Exchange South Africa. “Our consumer-centric philosophy and the flexibility of our products provide cost-effective travel options for our members and builds outstanding value, allowing them to explore the world through their timeshare ownership.” Timeshare owners can join DAE through its free membership program, with owners able to join regardless of whether they are already members of other timeshare exchange providers.

Dial An Exchange South Africa Inks Deal With Ngwenya Lodge
Timeshare exchange company Dial An Exchange (DAE) announces a new agreement with South African resort Ngwenya Lodge, located along the boundary of the world famous Kruger National Park wildlife sanctuary in Mpumalanga, South Africa. DAE will now promote its exclusive free timeshare exchange membership program to the owners of Ngwenya Lodge and provide the resort as an exchange option to DAE’s 450,000 global members. At Ngwenya Lodge guests can literally reach out and touch the Crocodile River, overlooking the game fence of the Kruger National Park, which passes behind Ngwenya. This effectively incorporates the resort into the greater game area and visitors have every opportunity to see all the same species that roam the game-rich southeastern section of the Kruger Park, without even having to leave the resort. The river view chalets, set out over two kilometres of prime river frontage, overlook a scenic floodplain, which allows for magnificent views of an area where the big cats often hunt and guests are treated to unsurpassed game viewing opportunities. “Ngwenya Lodge is a very special destination for our members looking to view the outstanding big game that South Africa is known for around the world and we are very pleased to welcome them to our family of exchange options,” said Paul Edkins of Dial An Exchange South Africa. “We will also be looking at doing resort specific promotions to encourage banking of weeks and exchanges. One of the big advantages that current members enjoy is the low exchange fees, especially for international travel, and the bonus breaks for an extra breakaway during the year,” added Edkins. DAE will also be promoted in the Resort Reception area through marketing material and information which will be available for owners who have not yet become members. The company provides free membership, with timeshare owners given the ability to bank their week at no cost and receive a credit which can be used within a three year …

Dial An Exchange South Africa Begins Resort Outreach Effort
Executives from timeshare exchange provider Dial An Exchange (DAE) have launched a new educational outreach program in South Africa designed to inform timeshare resort managers and resort Boards of Directors about the extensive exchange options available to owners. DAE executives recently attended the Annual General Meetings for the Crystal Springs, Ngwenya Lodge, Manzi Monate, Sandy Place, Mabalingwe, Monateng Safari Lodge, Kagga Kamma and Little Eden timeshare resorts, primarily to introduce choices to timeshare owners and resort Boards about the free membership program and availability of additional exchange options open to owners. “Most of these owners only deal with one exchange partner. Although DAE is just beginning to create awareness that owners are not locked in to using one exchange company, we will continue to explain our offering and our commitment to our members in terms of service delivery, great membership benefits and our uncomplicated approach,” said Paul Edkins of Dial An Exchange South Africa. Edkins added that educating the Board of Directors at a resort is essential as they are the group who can set policy for the resort operations and has significant influence among the owners at their resorts. “We often see how un-informed a lot of owners are in terms of other available options and exchange affiliations. Our goal is to provide information about the choices owners have to book the best possible vacation exchange at the most economical price,” Edkins added. Dial An Exchange provides free membership to its 450,000 members across the globe, with the ability to bank their timeshare week at no cost and receive a credit which can be used within a three year period. Payment is required only after an exchange is confirmed. For more information about Dial An Exchange, please visit http://daelive.com.
