The award winning independent B2B publication Perspective Magazine is now preparing to release a consumer version for existing and potential owners of timeshare, vacation ownership, fractionals, private residence clubs and vacation based whole ownership.

Starting in July 2008, Owners Perspective will be available for a short period as an online magazine before moving to print and online by the end of the year.

The consumer version, nicknamed "Owners Perspective" will carry much of the same content as the original version, but will then be tailored more specifically to the needs and interests of the holidaymaker, including industry news, resort and destination reviews, owner experiences, reader offers and much more.

Our Objective
The main aim of Owners Perspective is to provide an informative and entertaining overview of the industry on a global level and as with the business version, the consumer version will be moulded around the feedback we receive from you, the owners, helping us to deliver a publication that you will embrace, trust and enjoy.

While you are waiting for us to release the first edition of Owners Perspective, why not check out the original Perspective Magazine as a sneak peak of what to expect!
What The Industry Thinks

Michael Laws, Managing Director, Ice Europe
"I very much welcome the introduction of this new, exciting and independent Timeshare Consumer Magazine. As a matter of fact it was quite surprising to learn that until now, bearing in mind that timeshare has a significant impact on the economy in general and on tourism in more specific terms that nobody took up this opportunity before. I am therefore even more pleased that Paul & Sharon, two of the most ambitious people I have ever met within this industry, are not only to introduce their Owners Perspective publication but know that they will also develop it into a reliable and credible source and voice for existing and prospective timeshare consumers.

Timeshare has so much more to offer today than it did 20 years ago. So from our point of view, although ICE is very well known as a brand within the industry, we will now also be able to promote our brand and services to the consumer who will be able to learn more about ICE through our highly valued resort partners.”

Harry Taylor, Secretary General, Timeshare Association (Timesare Owners Committees) TATOC
“Every industry needs an impartial and independent conveyor of information and news to be truly successful. In my opinion, up until a few years ago, the timeshare industry in Europe didn’t have that independent media player.

In Perspective Magazine I believe our industry has found its essential answer. Most timeshare industry publications are tied to major companies and their editorial has often been more about self promotion than sharing essential news and giving every company and initiative a reasonable chance for exposure. I cannot ever see Perspective Magazine ignoring a newsworthy story. In Perspective Magazine I see a young and ambitious company who are determined to retain their independence, a company who will not be tied to any major player more than another. I commend them on the diversity of their publication and in becoming the biggest of their kind in the world. I shall enjoy watching them progress as they add their new consumer focused publication to their portfolio. For the right reasons, which are the prosperity of our industry, TATOC will support Paul and Sharon Mattimoe in their new mission… as they have supported us”

Jason Tremblay, President & CEO of Sell My Timeshare Now
“We are very happy to be the first US based company to support this new magazine. It is essential for the global timeshare industry to have such a credible, independent voice and allow all aspects of the industry to be discussed in a fair and equitable manner.

We have been subscribers of the business publication, Perspective Magazine, for a number of years and know the high quality and standards that this company will bring to this new consumer project. We wanted to get involved as soon as we heard about the consumer publication because we know it will be a big success and allow consumers to become better informed about the industry. This will give owners a better understanding of the industry and the great value of timeshares as a vacation option, which will lead to better overall awareness of the product and hopefully bring new people into ownership.”

Bryan Lunt, Chairman, Absolute Group
“All of us at the Absolute group are pleased to be one of the first Vacation Ownership and Private Residence developers to be working with the all new ‘Owners Perspective’ magazine and e-version; we feel this independent media channel forms an excellent opportunity for both timeshare and fractional owners worldwide keep up to date with what’s happening within the vacation and fractional ownership industry in a format that we all use these days. It will also offer new opportunities for owners who have only ever vacationed in their own ’side of the world’ to see really what opportunities are out there for both exchange and purchasing of additional weeks or shares, as well as being more able to be in touch with companies a long way from their homes, to ask those questions direct and see what their members are saying.

Absolute looks forward to promoting this new consumer magazine to our worldwide database, which stretches from New Zealand to USA, Russia through China down to South Africa. We have worked with Perspective International consistently for the past three years both for recruiting and for brand development, and having seen the success they have achieved with Perspective Magazine we are sure their new owners’ publication will be a great service to our members and the industry as a whole. Once again thanks for the opportunity!”
