WHY IS PEBBLE BEACHVILLAGE SO SUCCESSFUL?

A sound marketing policy,particularly in the U.K., has beenlargely responsible for generatingsuch a remarkable success story forPebble Beach Village with the day today running of our U.K. sales officeamiably directed by Roger Saundersof Topaz Properties Tenerife Ltd., ourprincipal U.K. sales agent.Such a strong marketing effort generated in excess of1300 sales enquiries during 1987 and already by the endof the first quarter of 1988 over 1,000 sales enquiriesfrom advertising alone had been handled by our U.K.office in Hastings.

The numerous exhibitions organised by Roger Saundersover the last 6 months have also created a lot of interestin Pebble Beach Village and many sales were achievedas a direct result of our participation at those venueslisted in our last issue.

One of the principal functions of our U.K. operation is toorganise inspection flights-to Tenerife for those clientssufficiently serious in their intentions to invest in propertyat Pebble Beach Village. Upon arrival at the airport ReinaSofia, only 10 minutes drive from our development, ourclients are met by a Pebble Beach Village representativeand escorted to their four-star hotel in Playa de lasAmericas, where accommodation is provided duringtheir stay.

With the back up of sales support material, including apromotional video and a huge model of the development,our professional on-site sales team adopt a relaxed butserious approach to all clients who are taken on a fulltour of the Village, it's future facilities and thesurrounding Amarilla Golf & Country Club.

EDITORIALSince our first issue of 'the Villager' a great deal has

taken place not only on our development site butalso within the company in general as the following :pages will bear witness. We are delighted to report

that sales of apartments, which is our real 'raisond'etre', remain excellent as the figures show.

Such a continuing strong demand, we feel,underlines just how good our product is and with

the release of Project PISCES imminent as we go topress, we remain very optimistic about the

continuing success of Pebble Beach Village, surelynow one of Europe's most successful freehold

leisure resorts.

Our company continues to expand in many areasand in this issue we have tried to portray how the

various facets of our company are working togetherto achieve the maximum benefit for our clients.

World famous personalities are now beginning todiscover both Amarilla Golf & Country Club and

Pebble Beach Village, appreciating just whatpotential the future holds for such an ambitious

development, currently the largest privately-ownedon Spanish territory.

May we welcome all new clients and owners toPebble Beach Village since our last issue and

extend our gratitude to all 'Villagers' for investingin our product over the last 18 months.

CAPTAIN pHILLIps

VISITS A.G.C.C.On Tuesday 16thFebruary, 1988,Captain MarkPhillips arrived inTenerife for thefirst time andmet at ReinaAirport by DonAntonio Tavio,owner and mainpromoter of the640 acre AGCCdevelopment.The purpose of his visit byspecial invitation fromAGCC was to discuss andadvise on the proposedEquestrian Centre,following closely on theheels of his involvementwith the Mark PhillipsEquestrian Centre at theprestigious GleneaglesHotel and Country Club inPerthshire, Scotland.

His brief but extremelybusy itinerary during the 3days thay he was on theisland was not helped bythe severe discomfort of adamaged achilless tendon,obliging him to walkeverywhere with crutchesthroughout his visit.

Whilst he was on theisland, his hosts did not failto familiarize him with

some of the island's beautyspots and he also visitedthe Atalaya Riding Club,near La Laguna.

The outcome of his visitwas very positive. Uponreturning to England hewas to prepare a technicalreport with his consultantarchitects on the feasibilityof establishing anEquestrian Centre atAGCC.

At the time of going topress, Don Antonio andDona Angelita Tavio, withcertain colleagues weremeeting with Captain MarkPhillips in London toprogress negociations onthis matter.
