This excerpt taken from the WYN 10-K filed Feb 27, 2009. Vacation
Rentals
The rental properties we market are principally privately-owned
villas, cottages, bungalows and apartments that generally belong
to property owners unaffiliated with us. In addition to these
properties, we market inventory from our vacation exchange
business and from other sources. We market rental properties
under proprietary brand names, such as Endless Vacation Rentals
by Wyndham Worldwide, Landal GreenParks, Cottages4You, Novasol,
Cuendet by Wyndham and Canvas Holidays, and through select
private-label arrangements. Most of the rental activity under
our brands takes place in Europe, the United States and Mexico,
although we have the ability to source and rent inventory in
approximately 100 countries. Our vacation rentals business
currently has relationships with nearly 45,000 independent
property owners in 26 countries, including the United States,
United Kingdom, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium,
Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany,
Greece, Austria, Croatia, and certain countries in Eastern
Europe, the Pacific Rim and Latin America. We currently make
more than 1.3 million vacation rental bookings a year. Our
vacation rentals business also has the opportunity to provide
inventory to our 3.8 million vacation exchange members.
Property owners typically enter into one year or multi-year
contracts with our vacation rentals subsidiaries to market the
rental of their properties within our rental portfolio. Our
vacation rentals business also has an ownership interest in, or
capital leases for, approximately 10% of the properties in our
rental portfolio under the Landal GreenParks brand.
