Welcome
As an RCI member, you understand the benefits that vacation ownership can bring to you and your family. Your membership gives you access to great accommodation, fantastic value and the opportunity to experience new destinations year after year. With summer on the way, why not start planning your next vacation today.
There’s a good reason why thousands of visitors flock to Penang each year to check out the culinary delights (pages 6-7). It’s a place rich in culture with a multitude of choices to enjoy a gastronomic journey.
We travel the globe to ten of the top botanical gardens where you can soak up the culture. Featuring gardens from Japan, Hawaii, North Colorado, Cape Town and our very own Singapore Botanical Gardens now on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List (pages 8-9).
Come shopping in Hong Kong (pages 10-11) plus check out the top 10 summer vacation spots
in Asia (pages 13-17). We also give you some great tips for making the most out of a vacation at Canary Islands (pages 19-23). Come check out the latest offers on cruise vacations (pages 36-37). There are also some great adventures
to explore on Japan’s Kyusha Island where the ancient world meets modern metropolises (pages 24-28). For a short getaway, go experience the wonders of Ko Samui (pages 38-39) or discover the diverse range of cultural and vacation activities in Selangor (pages 40-41).
It is often said that travel can change the world, so next time if you are staying in one
of our wonderful resorts, take the time to venture beyond the resort, and learn about the people and places that give each destination its distinct features.
Travel safe and create great memories.
