Global Connections, Inc., one of the nation’s most respected travel clubs, has announced that the producers of Great Taste will feature their company and one of its resorts in an upcoming episode of Innovative Second Home Solutions as part of the show’s series, Real Estate Developers of Distinction. The segment will air twice nationally on the Travel Channel, as well as 48 times regionally on ION (PAX-TV).

As a leader in the growing travel industry, Global Connections provides a host of vacationing options, including its unique whole ownership log cabin vacation homes at the White Oak Lodge & Resort near Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Great Taste will highlight this distinctive second home whole ownership property.

Commented Tom Lyons, President of Global Connections. “We are delighted that the Great Taste series has chosen the homes at White Oak Lodge for their show.” The show’s producers travel worldwide to bring features that combine impeccable style with exquisite taste.

Lyons is at the helm of White Oak LLC, overseeing the development of the 60 log cabin homes. Completion of construction and sell out of the resort is expected this year. The log cabins currently range in sales prices from $279,000 to $ 319,000.
