HOW INVENTORY WORKS “Inventory” is simply a word for the holidays that The Holiday Club has available for its Members. We take note of which resorts our Members frequent more often and where they would like to build futurememories. Wemonitor these trends to ensure you are getting the widest range of options, taking into consideration your holiday preferences. From this information, we actively offer Members the holidays they desire. Points are allocated to inventory based on a number of different factors that include: WHAT IS INVENTORY ? INVENTORY POINTS HOW THE HOLIDAY CLUB WORKS 43 How Inventory Works | www.theholidayclub.co.za UNIT SIZE AND TYPE SEASONS BOOKING DURATIONS The unit sizes are indicated by the number of guests that can occupy the units. The higher the occupancy, the higher the Points required. Inventory is typically offered in durations as Weekends (Friday to Monday), Midweeks (Monday to Friday) or Full Weeks (Friday to Friday). When a resort offers Midweeks or Weekends, this is what is also known as a ‘split week’. Not all resorts offer split weeks, especially during peak season. FULL WEEK (FW): A Full Weekmeans a 7-night stay, and usually runs from a Friday afternoon to a Friday morning. Check-in / out days may vary per resort. WEEKEND (WE): A Weekend is approximately 60% of a full week’s Points value and usually runs from Friday afternoon to Monday morning. MIDWEEK (MW): A Midweek is approximately 40% of a full week’s Points value and usually runs from Monday afternoon to Friday morning. WEEKS & DATES Check-in and check-out dates are shown in each resort’s Points Table, next to the season and Points costs per booking duration. Visit the website to view these Points Tables. The Points Table is categorised into different seasons. Resorts in the samearea,withthesamediamondratingandunitsize,carrythesame Points value.

TYPES OF SEASONS: INVENTORY AVAILABILITY In order to help you plan ahead, we’ve recently begun automatically releasing inventory 11 months in advance of the future occupancy dates, subject to the receipt of government school holidays and externally managed resort calendars. You can scan the QR to the right or log in to your Holiday Club profile to select from the latest available inventory. IMPROVED INVENTORY We are still continuing the drive to consolidate our inventory so that we can give our Members more accommodation options in the most sought after, in-demand resorts and areas. With this goal in mind, we are frequently exiting our shareholding at less popular resorts and purchasing new shareholding at more exciting, popular destinations. That way, we’re not only able to provide more accommodation where our Members want it the most but we also have more control over the quality and cost savings at most of these resorts. 1 3 2 ALWAYS SOMETHING AVAILABLE The Holiday Club has sufficient inventory AT ALL TIMES to match the number of Points held by our Members.
