Welcome
This issue of Endless Vacation® magazine marks RCI’s 40th anniversary and we have plenty of great reasons to celebrate with our readers.
The world has transformed a lot over the past 40 years with new technology and advances rapidly changing the way we do things. We can now book our flights, accommodation and tours from our mobile phones, take photos on numerous mobile devices and share them instantly across the world through social media.
Through all these changes, RCI has been right there with you. Just check out some of the new blue tooth wireless speakers on their way in our Travel Gear section (page 5). With greater technology, there comes a higher expectation in the variety and quality of accommodation that our RCI members would like to experience. Nevertheless the fun and excitement of taking a well earned holiday will always stay the same.
This issue is bursting with some exciting holiday options. Check out our 40 favourite beaches from around the world (pages 15-20) and the 40 ways RCI is celebrating with you to make your holidays special (pages 32-44.)
There’s shopping in Hangzhou, China (pages 10 & 11), plus a planning calendar to help you book your next memorable holiday experience. Don’t forget to check out our members’ stories as they share some of their wonderful holiday experiences from across the globe (pages 43-45.)
We are grateful to have been part of your holiday memories for the past 40 years and we look forward to making the next 40 years even more memorable.
Happy holidays from all of us at RCI.
