Despite the fact that 2009 was one of the most challenging years for the overall economy, RCI, the world’s largest vacation exchange company and part of the Wyndham Worldwide family of brands, demonstrated that vacation exchange remains a bright spot in the travel industry. By continuing to provide value-added services to assist its developers, RCI attracted several notable new affiliates and grew its membership base in 2009.
