DAE Opens New Service Centre in Portugal

Worldwide vacation exchange provider DAE has opened a new service centre in Portugal, expanding the company’s footprint in Europe.

“We’ve seen strong demand for our award-winning exchange product developing in this region of Europe,” said Oliver Green, Managing Director of DAE Europe. “Our Portuguese membership base has increased by 300% in the last two years, so providing a local centre to service this growing demand was a logical step.

“It’s important to DAE that all members receive the highest levels of customer service and now these members can speak to us in their own language and transact in their own currency.

“In addition, DAE are able to harness local knowledge and expertise of this popular tourist destination in order to further develop our relationships with existing and new Portuguese and Madeiran Resorts – meaning many more exciting holiday opportunities for our DAE members worldwide.”

The DAE Portugal office is located in a prominent position between Vilamoura and Albuefeira and is headed up by experienced shared-ownership professional, Nelson Goncalves, who has a Master’s in Business Administration and has worked in the Timeshare Industry since 1998.

“Our first goal is to make sure all Portuguese members understand how to use the system correctly to take advantage of the enormous benefits of DAE,” said Mr Goncalves. “We will also focus on ensuring Portuguese Resorts and Vacation Ownership members are aware that a simple, affordable, award-winning exchange option is now right here in the local region.”
