RCI, or Resort Condominiums International, is a global vacation exchange network that allows members to trade their timeshare weeks for stays at various resorts around the world. Founded in 1974, RCI provides access to thousands of vacation properties, making it easier for travelers to explore new destinations without the need to own multiple timeshares. Members of RCI can deposit their timeshare weeks into the exchange system and then choose from available properties based on their preferences. This flexibility enables vacationers to experience different locations and accommodations, enhancing their travel options while maximizing the value of their timeshare investments.
