“We warmly welcome the Capital Vacations family to RCI and look forward to serving their owners with the respected customer service our Travel Guides provide each and every one of our 3.7 million members,” said Richard Ruff, senior vice president and managing director of RCI North America. “This year we introduced the new RCI, which is evolving beyond its storied history as the timeshare industry’s most renowned exchange partner. We are expanding our services as the trusted travel advisor to our members and affiliates — not just once a year, but every time members leave home for their personal or business travel. Capital Vacations recognized that RCI affiliation helps improve their owner experience and enhances their timeshare product offerings, which will strengthen their business in the long term.”
