Resort Condominiums International (RCI) pioneered the concept of vacation exchange and was founded in 1974.   They examined the concerns of vacation ownership and provided a unique vision to establish standards that have served as a guide for other exchange companies that subsequently entered the industry.   Beginning with a 400 square foot office and two employees, RCI has grown to an organization with over 3,000 resorts in 80 countries.   The concept built by RCI has matured and improved over the years and the industry now offers stability, value and flexibility that vacationers could only dream of two decades ago.
