If you’re interested about timeshares, you can get information about the industry through two organizations: Resort Development Organization (RDO) and The Timeshare Association (TATOC).

With so many timeshare scammers out there, you can never be too safe.

RDO is the trade body for the European timeshare industry. It offers advice to buyers and sellers and provides a venue for complaints if you have had deals from one of its members. For more on the RDO, go to www.rdo.org

TATOC is a consumer association that represents over 250,000 timeshare owners. It provides a free service to consumers who have a complaint or a query about a non-member timeshare of the RDO. You can visit TATOC at www.tatoc.co.uk
