No-one Buys Timeshares Anymore, right?

When people find out about the blog and the kind of things I write about, a common question amongst some new acquaintances is about whether people really do still buy timeshare, thinking that it had gone out of fashion. The fact is that timeshare is a popular as every in certain key locations where accessibility is easy, the sun always shines and the price is right.

As a timeshare advisor this is a question I hear more often than you might think! Many people misunderstand the great benefits that come with timeshare ownership; they carry the idea of the bad reputation created by a minority of fraudsters in the the 1980’s and 90s. Otherwise they see it as an inconvenience during their vacation where they are bothered to attend sales presentations in return for discounts and rewards. What they don’t realize is that the industry is changing with its consumers, and the benefits you get today are tailored to the modern vacationer.

So who really buys timeshare these days?
Well, to be honest, there isn’t really a typical customer these days, but two things most buyers have in common is the desire to get the best quality for their money, and the love of taking regular vacations. People who invest in timeshares generally expect excellence from each and every vacation, and this is why timeshares are such a great option. You get to know the resort you’re staying at and you can be sure of great service each and every year. Better still you can be sure that all resorts you visit, (as new timeshare memberships don’t generally restrict you to a time and place each year) will be of the same calibre, so you’ll never be disappointed.

Benefits of Timeshare and Vacation Clubs
The specific benefits you get from a certain membership will depend upon the contract you choose to sign, but either way you can be sure that the general benefits are: value for money and great accommodation. The price you pay is set so as the market changes and hotel rooms in general get more expensive you won’t pay more. Better still the quality of the units and resorts you visit will be consistently high, and you’ll always be treated like a VIP. On many occasions timeshare membership can allow you to stay in more luxurious accommodations or resorts than you could usually afford.

Last, but not least, one of the key attractions, and one of the main reasons timeshare remain popular, is the feeling of being at home that a familiar resort and suite gives you. Owning your own piece of heaven in one of the world’s most beautiful locations makes all your hard work through the year worth it! A timeshare gives you all the benefits of owning a second home without any of the responsibilities that come with it.
