Best Practices for High VPG Rental Programs Highlighted at Timeshare and Fractional Networking Expo GNEX 2011

CRAMLINGTON, ENGLAND, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Perspective Magazine, the timeshare and fractional industry's independent information leader, announces that Steve Reich, Senior Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for LeisureLink, will add his expertise during the Global Networking Expo, GNEX 2011.

LeisureLink's sophisticated technology platform uses real time market data to maximize revenues for resort rental programs. The company's proprietary algorithm combines technology with market data and strategic planning to calculate the optimal price for a resort's property, and the system transmits the new price to every channel connected to the LeisureLink platform in real time. As more market data flows in, pricing is adjusted multiple times per day to maximize the revenue per available room.

Through the development of such cutting-edge technology, Mr. Reich is uniquely positioned to address the issue of generating rental income for resorts and how a successful rental program can create leads for vacation ownership sales initiatives.

"Rental programs drive high VPG guests, and aggressive revenue management is the key to maximizing cash flow and tour traffic," said Mr. Reich.

Mr. Reich will be participating in the "Increasing Revenue & Decreasing Marketing Costs" session during Day Two of GNEX 2011, scheduled for May 11th - 12th, 2011 at the fabulous Atlantis Resort in Nassau, Bahamas.

An agenda full of interactive workshops, challenging sessions and networking opportunities will drive the two-day event as decision-makers from five continents gather to conduct business. A welcome reception, exhibitor hall and new networking features are key elements of the expo.

Keynote speakers Ron Kurtz, president of the American Affluence Research Center, and Craig Nash, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Interval Leisure Group, will also add outstanding perspective to the changing forces of the vacation ownership industry.

GNEX 2011 will also include the inaugural Perspective Magazine Awards Gala, where more than 150 nominees from five continents will finally find out the winners in a wide variety of categories including Best Resort Development, Best Innovation Award and many more.
