online marketplace for timeshare rentals and sales, reached a milestone,
registering its 1,000,000th user. RedWeek.com

them get more out of vacationing and offer a compelling value proposition.
Web sites like RedWeek.com help consumers
with this education while they consider where they want to buy.�
