The Timeshare Beat
April 20, 2001
Beginning as early as Tuesday of this week, thousand of industry participants began to gather at the Marriott's
World Trade Center in Orlando Florida for what is expected to be one of the most promising ARDA conventions in
recent history.
Lights, camera action! For the first time ever, ARDA will be going live at the conference with ARDA-TV and will
have their news team present live coverage and regular updates of Convention and Exposition events as well as industry
news.
The Timeshare Beat's online news and information service will also be on hand and for the first time ever The Timeshare
Beat will be conducting interviews and reporting breaking stories as well as introducing new products and services
live from the Exposition Center for our readers' enjoyment and benefit.
This year's Exposition Center will be introducing numerous new products and services for the consideration of industry
developers, marketers and participants, including one of the hottest marketing products that has surfaced in decades.
Developed by Where To Go, Inc., an Orlando based marketing company, TS 52 has literally swept the industry and
will be on full display throughout the convention. You won't want to miss this must-see sales and marketing system
which will be located in the Exposition center, between RCI and the Food Court.
Better yet, stop by booth #1319 and mention that you read about TS 52 to the staff of Where To Go, Inc., and you
will receive a 20% discount off what is considered by industry veterans an already unbelievably low price. Should
you not be at the convention this year and still would like to preview this system, click here, TS
52, (and don't forget to mention The Timeshare Beat for your additional 20% discount).
Another exciting new incentive being introduced exclusively through The Timeshare Beat this week is by the President
of Millennium Marketing, Inc., of Glendale, Arizona.
Although due to conflicting schedules and prearranged commitments, MM, Inc. will not be on display in the Exposition
Hall, nonetheless they are introducing, through The Timeshare Beat, an incredible opportunity for companies interested
in the latest Travel Incentives products.
Millennium Marketing, Inc., for a limited time, (exclusively for new clients of MM, Inc.) has made the following
challenge to Developers in the industry. "We challenge developers, that for each new travel certificate purchased
as a result of reading The Timeshare Beat, MM, Inc., will provide a discount (up to 20%) as well as donate a portion
of the proceeds to the Christel House Children's Charity project."

and of course the Pre-Gala Cocktails, Awards Ceremony and Post-ARDY Dinner.
You may also want to stop by Main Street at the Town Hall Square Tuesday, April 24, 1:00 - 2:00 PM and "Meet
The Beat". This should prove to be an interesting panel discussion, including a Q & A period, and will
provide the opportunity for attendees to meet Rod Hackman, President of The Timeshare Beat, Inc.
Mr. Hackman will join Mr. Mike Malley, the editor of the Hotel Motel Management (H&MM) publication and they
will be sharing views and perspectives regarding the responsibility and future of trade publications in the timeshare
and hospitality industry.
'Meet The Beat' will also be covered on ARDA-TV.
ARDA's 2001, 'Making Connections' and 'Town Hall' in Orlando this year will, without question, provide all participants
truly the best networking opportunity of the year.
