| 2004 NEWS | |
| TIMESHARE | |
| We
are celebrating the news that we have been given an RCI Hospitality award
and are well in line for Gold Crown status. More good news: RCI has undertaken a major review of the season bands for Cornwall, and has decided to UPGRADE the following weeks for all owners; banked weeks will also be upgraded. Weeks 7&8 will change from Blue to White Weeks 9-12 will change from White to Red Weeks 48 & 49 will change from Blue to White. |
|
| PICTURE this.... | |
| RCI (Timeshare Exchange company) commissioned a survey which has painted a new picture of the "typical" UK timeshare owner, who is likely to be a qualified professional or company director earning more than £30,000 a year, driving a BMW or Mercedes and who has visited up to six different countries in the past two years. "More Dev Allaghan than Les Battersby", apparently. Two thirds of those who took part in the survey said that they bought timeshare in order to exchange to other resorts across the world. Three quarters of those polled said the beach was essential, with many seeking water sports, skiing or hiking; cultural activities were also high on the list of requirements. | |
| JOINED UP RIVER AND SEA ROUTES | |
| New routes
have been opened up around the Roseland and the Fal Estuary. New ways
have been introduced to enable visitors to get round the area by water.
People who miss the last ferry home or want to stay out late can use
the water taxi - just like Venice. Seems like a very civilised way to
see the beauties of the area . New venture! How do you fancy going on a SEA_FARI? During your stay at Trewince you will have the chance to "awaken your senses" with an interactive environmental experience aboard the largest 12 seater 35' rigid inflatable boat in the South West. Customised cruises will be available, starting from Trewince Quay, and you will be able to cruise the stunning Cornish coast and creeks. Further information from www.orcasea-faris.co.uk or 01326 214928. |

They will be continuing to run the site in the same relaxed way that we have done and have already made many improvements! All bookings will now be handled by them.
