SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 8, 2014) - Vacatia.com (www.vacatia.com), the trusted, easy-to-use marketplace to buy and sell timeshares online, today announced the "Vacatia on Us!" Sweepstakes where one lucky person will win $10,000 for a trip of a lifetime or a lifetime of trips. In addition to the grand prize, entrants can also win great bi-weekly prizes such as flight vouchers, luggage and travel gear. The Sweepstakes are open from now through April 15, 2014 and all entrants must register at http://vacatia.com/contest/10k-sweepstakes.

The grand prize winner will have their choice of a once in a lifetime vacation, or ownership of a timeshare that will provide a lifetime of amazing vacation experiences. If a lifetime of vacations is selected, the winner will receive $10,000 to spend on Vacatia.com for the purchase of a timeshare or fractional interest. $10,000 could buy the winner an annual weekly use of an oceanview unit at Marriott Maui Ocean Club or a two-bedroom townhouse at Lake Tahoe's lavish Old Greenwood or ownership at Disney's Sarasota Springs Resort, near Orlando. Alternatively, the winner could choose the vacation of a lifetime option, where a party of four will enjoy a week-long escape to the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Lake Tahoe, Orlando or Arizona. Vacatia will provide flights, deluxe, two-bedroom accommodations at an exclusive timeshare resort and organize a memorable regional experience such as an everglade safari, horse-drawn sleigh ride, kite surfing lessons, a VIP golf package or whale-watching excursion.

"This is an exciting sweepstakes with a grand prize sure to wow any travel enthusiast," said Nicole Reitter, Vacatia's Director of Marketing. "It's amazing how far $10,000 can go on Vacatia. I love that the cost of a single vacation can buy annual use of a gorgeous oceanfront timeshare in Maui or, a three-bedroom penthouse suite in a Starwood property in Cabo."

Vacatia is dedicated to bringing the shared vacation ownership experience to a new generation of buyers and sellers of timeshares who want the same convenience, transparency and freedom to search and transact that they enjoy in other sectors of the sharing economy, including newly established peer-to-peer networks for short-term car sharing and housing rentals. Vacatia is creating the first comprehensive transactional platform where visitors can research, and execute on, the purchase of timeshares and fractional interest at great prices, as well as cost-efficiently market and sell their shares in properties to targeted buyers. As transparency, efficiency and secondary market liquidity become the norm in the timeshare economy, resale prices are bound to increase over time and sales in the entire timeshare ecosystem will benefit.
