May 2009
According to the much
anticipated and soon-to-be released annual AIFresearch,
State of the Vacation Timeshare
Industry: United States Study, 2009 Edition, the timeshare
industry reported an average of 81.6% occupancy rate in 2008, despite
economic downturns—compared with the 60.4% occupancy rate at the
hotel industry. (Source: “Smith Travel Research Lodging
Review” Smith Travel Research February 07,

Around 67% of resorts are at least 80-percent
occupied, and 40% have occupancy of at least 90%. Only 11% of resorts
are less than 60-percent occupied. These resorts tend to be in the
mountain and northeast regions and have higher priced
intervals.
