Resort Condominiums International (RCI) was established by John and Christel De Haan back in 1974, with their first office based in Indiana, USA. The idea was simple: resort property owners from different areas came together to swap properties, essentially creating a timeshare for resorts. This allowed each owner to make better use of their property and enjoy more diverse vacation experiences.
In over 50 years, RCI has evolved into the world's largest vacation exchange network, spanning 600,000 hotels across 110 countries. Members of this exclusive club receive added benefits like tours, cruises, and car rentals—essentially offering a luxurious, all-inclusive lifestyle on a global scale.
Thanks to RCI, your life can become an ongoing adventure—moving from one upscale hotel to another throughout the year.
Joining is straightforward: buy property in a hotel participating in the RCI program. Owners can use their hotel room for several weeks to several months annually. They can exchange these periods for stays in other RCI hotels, experiencing vacations in different countries each time. When not in use, the property can be rented out to tourists, providing income for the owner.
RCI offers flexibility—it's a privilege, not a requirement. If you want to maximize rental income or prefer to use your property year-round, you can simply opt out of the program and still enjoy your benefits.
Set to grace the upscale area of Georgia's premier resort destination, Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio marks RCI's inaugural venture into the country's real estate landscape. Here's a glimpse into what this groundbreaking development offers:
In addition to these highlights, the developer presents an exclusive loyalty program for investors known as the International Travel Club (ITC).
Buyers investing in property at Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio don't need to wait for completion to start enjoying complimentary travel perks. The International Travel Club program kicks in right from the initial payment, granting one week of luxurious hotel stays each year.
| RCI Program | ITC Program |
| • The world's largest vacation exchange system. • Accessible in 110 countries, encompassing all hotel industry brands. • Offers vacation stays in hotel rooms, as well as cruises, yachts, car rentals, and various other services. • Program validity extends from March 1, 2025. |
• A special program designed for property buyers at Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio. • Accessible in 80 countries, featuring brands from the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts group. • Offers luxury vacations exclusively in five-star hotels. • Program validity extends until December 31, 2025. |
The entry point to the Georgian real estate market is notably more accessible compared to global standards. When you invest in a luxury hotel room here, you're acquiring a premium-branded property constructed to the highest international standards. This ownership also grants you the privilege to vacation in other five-star hotels worldwide, a feat that would typically demand a substantially larger investment elsewhere.
This offering presents a unique proposition for Georgia: the chance to both explore the world and generate income simultaneously.
At present, you have the opportunity to invest in property across four distinct complexes within the Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio project:
Regardless of whether you opt for a 30-square-meter studio or a 200-square-meter villa, your investment grants you access to all 90 resort infrastructure facilities.
These encompass an array of amenities such as 12 restaurants and bars (including those offering halal and kosher cuisine), 7 pools and 3 spas, fitness centers, various baths (Russian, Finnish, Turkish, Japanese), an aqua zone with water slides, sports and children's playgrounds, comprehensive business infrastructure (including meeting rooms, coworking spaces, and conference halls), on-site shops, and even a physiotherapy clinic.
Key to note, in the Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio complex, rooms are sold in fractions, such as a 1/100 share. This exceptional offering enables investment in upscale branded real estate with a starting budget as low as $3,000.
Branded developments deliver notably higher returns to owners compared to generic projects lacking brand recognition.
An international brand hotel represents more than just a structure with rooms for rent; it embodies a vast database of repeat customers worldwide. The Wyndham group loyalty program alone boasts over 100 million members—individuals who frequent network hotels at least once every six months.
These are managed by international management companies renowned for delivering five-star service. In our scenario, this entails collaboration with Aimbridge Hospitality, a global leader in hotel management.
Statistics reveal that occupancy rates in branded hotels in Batumi surpass those in regular apartment hotels by 58%, with accommodation costs ranging four to five times higher. Consequently, the gross income for a room owner in a branded complex is sevenfold.
Even after deducting expenses for management services, investors yield substantially more returns than owners of rooms in standard hotels, let alone apartment owners. Notably, market statistics overlook all-inclusive hotels, a rarity in Georgia until now. The Wyndham Grand Batumi Gonio complex pioneers as the first project featuring a comprehensive "all-inclusive" infrastructure.
