SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic –

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Occidental Vacation Club, a division of Occidental Hotels and Resorts (Madrid), is reporting that sales are on the upswing at the all-inclusive group of resorts.

According to Luis Namnum, President of Occidental Vacation Club, โ€œWe were proud to be listed near the top of the leaderboard among timeshare resorts in active sales according to a survey conducted by Vacation Ownership WORLD Magazine.โ€

The club has resorts located in Aruba, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. There are more than 23,000 members at 11 Occidental Vacation Clubs.

The group reported an increase of approximately 7 percent in sales in 2011, rising from $31.81 million in 2010 to $35.45million in 2011. This reflects an addition of one resort to Occidentalโ€™s group and a 98 more units. 1,500 additional families purchased memberships over the last year.

โ€œWe are attributing this steady climb to our all-inclusive model, which is becoming more and more popular with travelers,โ€ said Namnum, โ€œIn addition, we continue to receive very high marks on traveler-based web sites such as Travelocity. People who own and visit here continue to give us extremely high satisfaction ratings not only for our paradise-like vacation destinations, but also for the warmth and hospitality they find when they arrive.โ€
