The Resort Development Organisation (RDO) was formed in 1998 in order to represent reputable Vacation Ownership companies. Through creating a code of ethics, affiliated resorts pledge to adhere to all current industry legislation, ensuring that members have secure occupancy rights and payments are protected.
RDO is a direct membership organisation with over 90 members including resort developers, exchange companies, finance companies and resale companies. They work with Governments at a national and European level in order to create fair legislation, that safeguards the interests of the consumer and encourages positive development and quality of the timeshare / Vacation Ownership industry.
The Timeshare Association (TATOC) was formed in 1989 and is now recognised as the authoritative voice of timeshare owners by numerous government departments. The resort accreditation programme run by TATOC examines quality timeshare resorts and clubs who choose to apply for membership and ensure that they meet the stringent consumer-based standards of TATOC’s code of conduct and associated Codes of practice.
Currently there are 92 resorts throughout Europe that fly the flag of accreditation and support TATOC’s mission to “safeguard and enhance the timeshare holiday experience” ensuring peace of mind to all visitors and members within these resorts.
Through affiliation to the Resort Development Organisation and TATOC accreditation, members at the Radisson BLU Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands can be assured of the highest standards of business ethics, principles and practices alongside the provision of products and first class standard of service, at every stage.
Azure: the company behind the experience
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The Azure Group and Golden Sands Resort Ltd are both the product of a joint venture between Island Hotels Group Holdings Plc. - a renowned leader in the Maltese hospitality industry and Silverpoint Group Holdings - a prominent name within the International Vacation Ownership industry that market and manage a wealth of high end resorts worldwide.
This partnership developed the five star Radisson BLU Resort & Spa, Golden Sands, commanding unrivalled views of the picturesque Golden Bay and surrounding open countryside.
Whilst Golden Sands Resort Limited, itself, owns the resort; the Azure Group promotes and sells the resort including memberships and entitlements. Within the Azure Group, Azure Services Ltd handles the marketing and services to members and prospective members, while Azure Resorts is the operator and contracting party.
The Golden Sands Experience is a brand that has been established in order to promote the Golden Sands area, a unique destination, creating the opportunity for an enriching vacation experience.
The Azure Group initially introduced the Island Residence Club in 2003 and after establishing the Club as one of Europe’s most exclusive Vacation Ownership memberships, has now extended their product range including the high-end Heavenly Collection and Elegant Experience trial membership package.
The Azure Services Ltd team is located on-site, within the resort in Malta and provides all Vacation Club related services to members and prospective members.
The success of previous projects has lead to a fresh and larger venture, which will enhance the local area further when development of the dilapidated Hal Ferh site, in close proximity to the Radisson BLU Resort & Spa, begins.
The partnership’s vision is to create a spectacularly landscaped resort with huge open space, focusing on luxurious but comfortable interiors, unlike anything seen in the current market due to it’s cutting edge design and eco approach to sustainable development.
A Unique eco chic high end product in a highly desirable area will be the ultimate address to stay in on island of Malta and indeed in Europe.
