The History of barter and the HRE™ Club
The HRE Club is a web-based company which specializes in providing an online service exclusively to hotels, resorts, lodges and guest houses worldwide to trade accommodation (and other) facilities.
The concept is that of ‘cash free business transactions’. Barter business is the earliest form of trade and was used by our ancestors long before the currencies of the world were established. The idea is basic: businesses use their own stock to ‘purchase’ goods from other businesses instead of using cash. Businessmen are continuously looking for ways to preserve cash and increase profitability. This is the reason why barter trade has been successful around the world for centuries. The benefits of this are endless; no cash transactions therefore no bad debts to write off, increased sales, trade vanishing/perishable stock, create loyal industry friendships – to name but a few.
The online facilities for barter trade now allow businesses anywhere in the world to contact each other freely and easily. Traders also don’t need to ever meet their trading partner (unless they want to) thanks to websites, email, and Internet banking.
There is already an expansive and viable industry of online barter trade sites located across the world, including for Hotel Room exchanges. However, none are as specialized or as service rich as the HRE Club.
Throughout the history of the hotel industry, hoteliers have exchanged accommodation with each other. Traditionally these transactions are used for the personal traveling needs of the General Manager. The HRE Club has taken this elementary practice to a new formalized level with far more scope and allows the principle to extent to management, staff, colleagues and even service providers of the Hotel/Resort owner for either business purposes or even for vacations. In this way, for instance, a General Manager can reward staff for good work, arrange team building exercises, provide service providers with a choice of payment or a barter of holiday at alternative hotel/resort destinations, and much more.
Automatically, by joining the prestigious HRE Club Membership program, a hotelier advertises his desire to trade accommodation at his/her establishment on our registered HRE Club website AND on the DAE (Dial an Exchange) website. This attracts new trading partners from across the global market. Hoteliers and owners of establishments, even if not a traditional timeshare or shared ownership operation, can enjoy this exchange service for personal use as well as for many business benefits.
The trade transactions are completely safe as all the Member establishments on the HRE Club website are checked and approved as accredited entities with the equivalent of a 3, 4, 5 star or 5 star plus accommodation facility.
