ricoba TUG Member Posts: 872 From: Rancho Dominguez, CA Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-06-2005 11:29 Do you think it will be HGVC or a Hilton Club? What is the primary tourist market for Tahiti? It's a long flight from here I assume. But it would be great for a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks for the link. Rick IP: Logged

Went their on my honeymoon in 1997. Huahine is a beautifull island a short flight from Tahiti. I imagine if this gets off the ground the timeshares will be extremely expensive. Probably more than anything else in the US. Hotels are very expensive. Overwater bungalows on Moorea and Bora Bora currently cost upwards of $700 to $900 per night at the luxury properties. Much of the tourism in French Polynesia comes from France of course. IP: Logged

The only Hilton International Grand Vacation Company (HIGVC) resorts in HGVC are the ones in Scotland. The HIGVC resort in Egypt is not included. So if there is a Timeshare/Fractional component there is no guarantee that it will be in HGVC. ------------------ SBC II, Shell Island Beach Club, Marriott Mountainside, Marriott Grand Vista, Topsider I, Freeport Resort and Club, HGVC at Las Vegas Hilton, Vistana Resort [This message has been edited by rfb813 (edited 05-06-2005).] IP: Logged
Rod222 TUG Member Posts: 88 From: San Diego Registered: Aug 2002	posted 05-06-2005 21:53 As I understand it from having talked to HIGVC in the past, their members get use of HIGVC clubs in Scotland as well as Egypt and the ability to use the clubs in the USA. So if you were to purchase Scotland or Tahiti, you would still have use privledges in the USA as well as all the other international HIGVC properties. ------------------ Rod.

When they refer to timeshares here, it is not HGVC but HIGVC.. ------------------ "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away."

ricoba TUG Member Posts: 872 From: Rancho Dominguez, CA Registered: Jan 2003	posted 05-07-2005 08:26 You have to wonder about Hilton's approach to timeshares.... They have one corporate brand name with three different products.... HGVC - Hilton Club & HIGVC... Does any other hotel timeshare do it this way?

Blues TUG Member Posts: 251 From: Monterey County CA Registered: Jan 2001	posted 05-07-2005 11:42 I own at Craigendarroch (sp?) Scotland, which I purchased directly from HIGVC. The purchase included membership and the first 3 years dues to HGVC (not HIGVC). I believe that any HGVC member can reserve Scotland. I was not aware that I have an ability to reserve Egypt, but I haven't really looked. Are there any other Scotland HGVC owners out there that can clarify? As far as I know, I have exactly the same reservation possibilities as any other HGVC owner; no more, no less. IP: Logged

It's all very confusing but here's what I know... Hilton Grand Vacation Club (HGVC)is owned and operated by USA based Hilton Hotels Corporation.. Hilton International Grand Vacations Company (HIGVC) who presently operates 4 resorts in Scotland and Egypt is owned by Hilton International, an operating division of the UK based Hilton Group plc (who also owns the rights to the Hilton brand name throughout the world, with the exception of the USA) Then there is the Hilton Club (an urban timeshare product) which is also owned by USA based Hilton Hotels Corporation. All three let their membership exchange into resorts under the other two groups but selectively. For example HGVC members can trade into Scotland, but not Egypt.. HGVC elite members can trade into the Hilton Club but not "standard" members.. and so on. ------------------ "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the places and moments that take our breath away."

Not that I will probably ever make it to Egypt or Tahiti, it just seems like it would be simpler if they were all branded the same with different levels of membership. I read somewhere on HGVC that Hilton Clubs are managed by HGVC which surprised me since standard club owners can't trade in there. Yet if you look on the sightings board you will see people getting into Hilton Club via Sfx. So if I ever wanted to go to the Hilton Club that would be the way to go. Anyway welcome back to the posting world Rick IP: Logged
rfb813 TUG Member Posts: 215 From: Valrico, FL, USA Registered: Jul 2003	posted 05-07-2005 15:47 Hilton Hotels Corp. US)sold the International(non US)rights to the Hilton name to the British group which formed Hilton International. In order to operate hotels outside the US, Hilton (US) formed Conrad Hotels International. My understanding is that now Hilton (US) has formed a Joint Venture with Hilton International to develop and operate the Conrad brand worldwide. Perhaps it would make sense for Hilton and HI to form a Joint Venture to develop and operate timeshare properties worldwide under the HGVC brand. ------------------ SBC II, Shell Island Beach Club, Marriott Mountainside, Marriott Grand Vista, Topsider I, Freeport Resort and Club, HGVC at Las Vegas Hilton, Vistana Resort IP: Logged
