Last week, Exclusive Resorts introduced their "Sponsored Guest Program," allowing prospective members to enjoy the destination club experience without having to join the club.

"We are excited about the initial response we have already seen," said Jeff Potter, CEO of Exclusive Resorts, on the new program.

Exclusive Resorts' Sponsored Guest Program allows access to personalized service and amenities typically reserved solely for destination club members. Sponsored Guests can choose a four-night stay for $5,900 or a seven-night stay for $8,900 in the Exclusive Resorts homes in Los Cabos, Real del Mar, Grand Cayman, Scottsdale, or Costa Rica. If a Sponsored Guest elects to join the club within 30 days of the conclusion of the trip, Exclusive Resorts will apply the Sponsored Guest fee towards annual dues.

"The Sponsored Guest Program will allow people to truly test Exclusive Resorts," said Jeff Potter in an exclusive interview with The Veras Group. "The program includes the member's own member services director so Sponsored Guests can enjoy the full appreciation of how we take the logistics out of their travel. They don't have to spend their time and energy on planning and can focus solely on the actual vacation."

Exclusive Resorts is the largest destination club in the industry with over 3,500 members and $1.1 billion in real estate holdings. As an Exclusive Resorts member, you have access to hundreds of properties in over 35 of the world's most sought after destinations. Members can choose between various plans that allow anywhere from 10 to 60 nights of usage each year.

Potter said the promotion would probably run through the end of the year, adding "We will continue to work on the edges to try to maintain some creative and innovation to try to get people to experience Exclusive Resorts."
