Did you know that the worldwide travel industry is estimated to be a Seven Trillion dollar marketplace? And in spite of tight budgets, people everywhere refuse to give up their vacation, even if it means financing it with a credit card or loan. According to a January 2008 report from the Travel Industry Association, domestic and international travelers spent an estimated 740 million dollars in the United States in 2007. No doubt, the travel industry is big business. (source: www.tia.org)

As a Global Resorts member, you have access to over 5,000 luxury resort properties, all around the world. Unlike those hotel points that you save up, or the frequent flier programs, there are no blackout dates or limitations on usage. Choose where you want to go, when you want to go, book and confirm the reservation, and pay only $299-$799 for an entire week. This is a complete price, not a per person cost.

If you compare the identical properties on sites such as Expedia and Orbitz, you will learn that the Global Resorts membership will get you savings of up to 75%, on the very same dates and locations. And, you have access to a professional customer service center for assistance with your booking and travel arrangements, including discounted air fare.

Global Resorts is not a timeshare membership. If you have ever been the owner of a time share, you know that there are usually limits of one or two weeks per year that you may travel. Also, most time share owners are hit with annual maintenance fees, which can be several hundred dollars extra per year.

Global Resorts offers two levels of membership. The Gold Membership Level is currently $1495 for three years access. The Platinum Membership, currently $2995, offers lifetime access. Since the average American family spends several thousand dollars for a single week of vacation, it's easy to see how the GRN membership is an excellent investment.

The GRN business opportunity is optional for anyone who purchases a Gold or Platinum membership. If you have ever attempted to create an extra income stream with network marketing, this is a very different type of compensation plan.

When you make a Platinum sale, you will earn $1,000. When you make a Gold sale, the commission is $500. There are also handsome bonuses and overrides in the comp plan. You will pass up your first very commission to your sponsor. However, you do not pass up the person, only the commission.

When your new person makes their first sale, that commission will roll up to you. And because of this feature of the compensation plan, each sponsor is very motivated to assist new people with their marketing efforts.

You can plug immediately into one or more approved GRN marketing systems, such as Truth to Wealth, Global Pro Builder or GRN BizBuilder. These all require monthly fees. Or, you can use the default corporate GRN site and be up and running very quickly.
