The Lusso Collection Member's Survey of Growing Luxury Destination Club Lauds Availability of Properties, Unlimited Usage, Exemplary Service, Economics, Security & Overall Quality of Club Near 100%

Proof that its "smaller is better" customer-centric boutique model of luxury travel to beautiful, destination homes valued at $3-4 million is working, The LUSSO Collection (www.lussocollection.com) announced the results of its First Annual Member Survey. The survey looked at the key features that families and individuals viewed as "critical" and "important" in choosing to join LUSSO rather than larger competing clubs and member's satisfaction with their club experience to date including: · Unlimited Usage (97%) · Projected Occupancy Rate (98%) · 100% refundable deposit (93%) · DepositTrust ™ for greater financial security & reporting transparency (90%) · Quality of Residences (100%) · Availability of Residences (93%) · LUSSO's automated online reservation process (100%) · Concierge communications and responsiveness (99%)

Our First Annual LUSSO Member Survey affirms that LUSSO is building a club for members, by members that meets with very high approval ratings and that also helps set the stage for our next level of development

The survey demonstrated a 93-percent satisfaction rating in 'availability of residences,' which confirms our decision to structure the club with unique features designed to maximize availability, including retaining the lowest members-to-property ratio in the industry of 5.5:1.

We believe our business model that sets a cap at 100 properties and 550 total Members will allow us to continue to cherry pick perfect properties, ensure the highest quality service and provide a host of member amenities through The LUSSO Life™ program

Our very favorable projected occupancy rate and the ability to travel with no cap on annual usage are extremely important to current--and most likely future--members. Even though LUSSO is not even two years old yet, our membership structure and the member experience are proving to be viable and influential in the luxury travel space.

Minneapolis-St. Paul (PRWEB) September 18, 2007 -- Proof that its "smaller is better" customer-centric boutique model of luxury travel to beautiful, destination homes valued at $3-4 million is working, The LUSSO Collection (www.lussocollection.com) announced the results of its First Annual Member Survey. The survey looked at the key features that families and individuals viewed as "critical" and "important" in choosing to join LUSSO rather than larger competing clubs and member's satisfaction with their club experience to date including:

Members were surveyed in categories titled: Future Travel (members' desires for future locations); Pre-Trip Planning (reservation, club communications between members with staff and LUSSO's highly ranked on-site concierges and other online tools); The LUSSO Experience (including quality of home furnishings, availability and responsiveness of LUSSO's 24/7 concierge staff); Club Communications; Club Features (such as LUSSO's 550 membership cap, projected occupancy rates, price/value, etc.); Comparing Alternatives (comparative alternatives with luxury hotels, fractionalized/timeshare ownership, vacation-home purchase and competing clubs); and Multiple-Home Owners (vacation-home ownership facts). The survey is available for download on the Club's Web site, or upon request.

"We believe our business model that sets a cap at 100 properties and 550 total Members will allow us to continue to cherry pick perfect properties, ensure the highest quality service and provide a host of member amenities through The LUSSO Life™ program," adds Steve Greer, founder, CEO and president. "Our very favorable projected occupancy rate and the ability to travel with no cap on annual usage are extremely important to current--and most likely future--members. Even though LUSSO is not even two years old yet, our membership structure and the member experience are proving to be viable and influential in the luxury travel space."
