The
Aqua Dunya Resort and Residences' Vacation Club has joined the Interval International exchange
network.
Situated in Dubailand, construction of the first phase of 170 apartments is scheduled for early 2008 with completion
expected in early 2010. Owners of timeshare at the Aqua Dunya Vacation Club resort will be able to exchange with thousands of Interval International's members throughout
the world.
Steve Tight, Chief Executive Officer of Aqua
Dunya, said "The integration of a vacation ownership component into the Aqua Dunya
Resort and within Dubailand's portfolio of entertainment offerings provides a flexible alternative for guest accommodation in Dubai. Indeed
we can now offer added value to our vacation club members with a wide range of quality international exchange properties through
Interval's extensive global exchange network."
"Dubai is the regional hub for tourism with hundreds of tourism-related projects under construction or on the drawing board," said David
Clifton, Interval's Managing Director, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia. "The Aqua Dunya theme park resort is a highly innovative and
compelling leisure development. We are delighted to have a resort of this quality and magnitude affiliated with Interval. It will benefit our
members and provide a huge step forward for the vacation ownership industry throughout the Middle East."
The current demand for timeshare products in the Middle East is extremely robust, with potential timeshare sales estimated by industry
experts at US$ 550 million annually and growing. The Aqua Dunya Vacation Club
will comprise 110 one-bedroom, 400 two-bedroom, 200 three-bedroom, and
45 four-bedroom units, making it one of the largest single vacation ownership resorts in the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Africa. The Aqua Dunya Vacation Club will
work on a points-based system.
The vacation club will be one of the key elements of the Aqua Dunya Resort, a family destination resort that will also include two theme
parks built around a 3.5 hectare lagoon; three themed hotels; a convention centre; a waterfront retail and dining district; a nine-hole golf
course, and a residential community.
