This is a long webcast but there is a tremendous amount of information on the Wyndham timeshare group and general vacation information growth.

I've only listened to about 15 minutes, but it is quite interesting. I'm going to have to set aside a half-day to listen to the whole thing.

I'm listening to it now. It is quite long. But very interesting about Wyndham, RCI and hotels and timesharing in general.

I listened to one a couple of years ago. At that time they were supposed to start a VIP type program for Worldmark. It never materialized. Although this year, Worldmark has started some kind of extra benefit program for some members.

The broadcast is really about how their businesses are being intergrated and their marketing and revenues. They go through a "teach in" for the analysts so they can understand how Wyn markets and sells timeshares. They get into a lot of infomation about timeshares in general. I think that the presentation was an attempt to have the financial analysts understand their business.

I read a Goldman Sachs report today and they were impress with Wyn and its potential.

I found it fasinating because they reveal a lot of market research about timeshare buyers and their specific sales processes.
They also have some market comparisons with Marriott, Starwood, Hilton and Hyatt.

The whole webcast is about 4+ hours.
