RDO (formerly the OTE) was created following the decision by the European Timeshare Federation in February 1998 to integrate all national timeshare trade associations into one pan-European direct membership Organisation: The RDO (formerly the OTE). The former timeshare councils in over ten countries act now as its national chapters, and a significant number of Timeshare related companies are RDO (formerly the OTE) members ruled by a strict code of ethics. RDO (formerly the OTE) works closely with the DTI, OFT and governments at European and National level, aiming to create a fair legislation for Timeshare and protection to consumers. RDO (formerly the OTE) is now accepted as the Timeshare industry trade body. Click here to see the Travel & Leisure Group Membership Certificate. |
