OTE (The Organization for Timeshare in Europe)

The Organization for Timeshare in Europe is similar to the United State's ARDA (American Resort Development Association), but OTC offers more of an emphasis on consumer affairs. According to its website the Organization for Timeshare in Europe "is the trade body dedicated to excellence and fair trading in the European timeshare industry. It promotes and fosters industry growth and serves its members through: education, public relations, legislative lobbying and member & consumer relations management."
