TRENDS

We believe that the following trends, among others, may affect and/or have impacted our financial condition and results of operations:

 

    Globally, travel spending is expected to grow by 5% in 2006.

 

    In 2006, the expected level of spending for the U.S. hospitality industry is estimated to be 16% higher than the spending in 2000, the year prior to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

 

    In the United States, revenue per available room, or RevPAR increased 8.4% in 2005 versus 2004.

 

    The American Resort Development Association estimated that on January 1, 2005, there were approximately 3.9 million households that owned one or more vacation ownership interests in the United States which represents a 14.7% increase from the prior year in the number of households that owned interests.
