RS Group of Companies Increases Focus on Timeshare Affinity Program Due to Recent Success
Business Wire, June 2, 2005
TORONTO -- RS Group of Companies, Inc. (OTCBB:RSGC), a provider of pass-through risk specialty insurance, reinsurance products, and affinity programs, announced today that the affinity program offered to timeshare owners by RS Group's subsidiary, Value Guaranteed Vacations Inc. (VGV Inc.) is enjoying stronger than expected growth. The VGV Inc. program is rapidly becoming a significant revenue source for the Company, leading RS Group to place a larger focus on its expansion, striving toward widespread implementation in the timeshare industry.
VGV Inc. is currently in negotiations with respect to, and expects to complete, several additional contracts with major timeshare developers over the next 60 days. These contracts would follow the recent and successful launch of the VGV(TM) Program with Shell Vacations LLC at Shell Vacation's Carriage Ridge Resort in Barrie, Ontario and Harbor Vacations Club in San Diego, California.
RSGC's recent success in the timeshare industry, through VGV Inc.'s affinity program, should provide additional revenues that are expected to contribute to the RSGC's financial strength. RS Group of Companies anticipates that this timeshare affinity program should generate significant gross revenues for the remaining 2005 fiscal year and for the subsequent 10 years.
John Hamilton, Chairman and CEO of RS Group of Companies, Inc. commented, "The timeshare market remains extremely strong as timeshare sales grew 16% to an estimated $7.5 billion in 2004. VGV Inc.'s recent success in the timeshare industry has motivated us to expand the program further into the vacation market to include fractional ownership and condo hotels. The success of our VGV(TM) Program and the expansion of our product offerings in the resort sector are creating a strong financial base from which the company can grow. While we intend to further develop our other innovative products including RentShield(R), we will remain committed to optimizing the dynamic success of the VGV(TM) Program."
