Richard Winkler
President and CEO of Regency Vacation Company

Richard Winkler began his involvement in the timeshare and travel business in 1983, when he first became General Counsel to a property development company in Newport, RI.  Following a long and successful career in the development and sale of resort properties and the creation of varied legal structures for numerous vacation-related products, Richard assumed the role of General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of a public company in the financial lending and resort development and sales business.

Richard is a nationally recognized leader in the vacation and travel industry with close personal friendships with industry executives in the fields of exchange, banking, development, management and consumer servicing.  Because of these relationships and his vast experience in the operations, marketing, legal and service side of both the timeshare and travel business, Richard had the vision as well as the available resources to develop a network of low-cost vacationing opportunities that represent a significant cost savings to Members of the Regency Travel Club. 

As the Club grows, additional low-cost opportunities will present themselves due to the increased buying power represented by Club Members.  Because of his dedication to quality products, exceptional service and enthusiastically happy Members, Richard envisions a Club product of the future with even greater benefits than those comprising the present Club product. 

“We all need a break every now and then in order to experience the joy of exploring our world and sharing special times with our friends and families. The Regency Travel Club represents a low-cost advantage to our Members who are the core ingredient to what makes our company successful. If we sell a dream, it is our duty to deliver on that dream to ensure that each and every Member has unforgettable and affordable vacationing and travel opportunities both now and for many years to come.”
