See the World through RCI, the largest exchange company in the world! After experiencing the RCI advantages almost all TaraNova members continue on as RCI members for a low annual fee. RCI provides members with an ID number and a huge "wish book" - a directory of resorts, listing over 3,300 resorts worldwide and the services that you can use.
All resorts listed in the RCI book must maintain the high standards of RCI affiliation. The resorts are continually rated by RCI and only those that meet or surpass the criteria are designated as a RCI resort.
RCI is so simple to use. Send your request in writing to TaraNova to bank your week(s). TaraNova will bank (deposit) the best available week into your RCI account. From there, you just call RCI and commence a search on for the location/date of your desired location.
