ARDA Attendees Have Only To Sign-Up To “Ask and They’ll Receive”
Miami, FL, April 3, 2003 – Interval International, a leading global vacation exchange, leisure lifestyle and travel related benefits provider, today announced that a complimentary one-year membership in Gold Conciergesm is being offered to attendees at the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) Convention. Gold Concierge is one of the most popular new Interval Gold benefits that premier level members receive as part of their enhanced package.
Delegates can register for this personal concierge service by visiting Interval’s booth at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida, from Sunday, April 6 through Tuesday, April 8.
“We are excited about sharing Gold Concierge with industry professionals so that they can experience first-hand the types of value-added benefits Interval Gold members have access to on a year-round basis,” said David C. Gilbert, executive vice president of Resort Sales and Marketing for Interval International. “Because today’s consumers are extremely busy, this program gives them a much-needed and convenient tool to take advantage of a world of assistance in their personal and professional lives.”
The service enlists experienced advisors who are available 24/7, 365 days a year by telephone, e-mail or wireless device to fulfill both ordinary and extraordinary requests. While consumers traditionally look to concierges/concierge services to make dinner reservations, secure tickets for theatrical and sporting events and provide tourist information, Gold Concierge pledges to its members “ask and you shall receive.”
It’s all in a day’s work for the service to locate the dress that Julia Roberts wore in Ocean’s Eleven, identify the artist who drew the print that hangs above the sofa in Frasier’s apartment, or finding a long lost high school friend. Need a barrel full of monkeys for a birthday party or a locksmith who can work on 150 year-old locks?
The possibilities are nearly limitless with the assistance of the Gold Concierge advisors.
Interval invites ARDA delegates to get acquainted with this “extraordinary” membership benefit when they visit booth #602 at the Gaylord Palms Convention Center. Gold Concierge staff members are available to answers questions and enroll interested parties throughout the conference.
