The SherpaReport in-depth "Destination Clubs: A Guide for Prospective Members" has been extremely popular since we first published it last year. The newest edition has been brought up to date with details on all the new clubs, merged clubs, new membership plans and services.

There are now over 20 clubs and most clubs offer multiple membership plans. Over the last year the leading clubs have continued to add homes and there are now destination club homes in over 25 countries. The clubs also offer membership plans at a variety of budgets and to fit a variety of lifestyles, and the average home values vary from under $1m to well over $6m. The Guide compares all the various options and just as importantly helps you identify if a club is right for you and your family.

The Guide includes 2 sets of questions. The first set to ask yourself, to see if a club fits your travel patterns and lifestyle. The second set of questions are ones to ask the clubs that you're interested in joining to make sure you find the right fit.

This 60 page Guide can be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format and then printed out to make it easy to read and mark up.

Some of the enthusiastic comments from people who have downloaded and used the Guide are:
