to create a luxurious “home- away-from-Home” experience.

According to Ashley Offermann, WFR Vice President of Sales, “The World’s
Finest Resorts offers exchange opportunities to its members in more than
50 locations around the world. Property managers are beginning to see the
advantage of offering existing owner bases the option to exchange their
fractional interests for similar high-end accommodations in prime resort
locations. WFR has more than 50 locations to choose from, as well as
experiential vacation adventures from The Orient Express to Sea Dream
Yachts.”

Karen Bird, Vice President of Destination Hotels and Resorts says “we saw
the opportunity to connect our owners with World’s Finest Resorts because
of our confidence in their sophisticated member relations team and the
variety of resort locations available to them.”

The Lorian, an addition to the Signature Home Collection of The World’s
Finest Resorts, is the first of an enclave of homes in Telluride. The
three bedroom, three bath luxurious condominium faces West with
inspirational and sweeping views of the mountains. It comes complete with
laundry facilities, gas fireplace, steam shower, and jetted tub. There is
plenty of room for family and friends with a spacious floor plan and
complete kitchen. The Lorian condominium complex offers a club house,
private ski lockers, outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and underground
parking. World’s Finest Resort members will find themselves 20 yards from
the Double Cabins ski run and a short walk to the heart of Telluride’s
renowned Mountain Village.

Owners at these resorts may trade for similar accommodations at other
luxurious destinations around the world; rent additional resort stays at
member preferred rates through the WFR on-line Resort Boutique; they may
also use the inherent value of homeownership as a down payment towards
luxury cruise and vacation packages, and enjoy WFR member-only special
offers on travel packages and experiential vacations.

According to Ashley Offermann, Vice President of Sales for The World’s
Finest Resorts, “More and more developers and property managers are
choosing to offer their members the opportunity to trade into affiliated
properties. Coming from a sales perspective, I see that trading is not
simply a benefit for the owners at our affiliated properties; it is
another excellent opportunity for many of our developers to attract
qualified buyers and property managers to keep existing owners satisfied.”

established 50 resort and vacation locations with properties including 15
Bachelor Gulch a Signature Home in Vail, Colorado, Poets Cove Seaside
