Timeshare Datashare

Provided by: ARDA International Foundation
September 2006

If you build it, will they come? It is common knowledge that location, location, location is crucial to any resort development, but where?

The latest AIF research reveals that in the next three years, 15% of experienced timeshare owners surveyed (those that purchased timeshare before 2005) would like to purchase more timeshare with their existing company. Another 16% would be interested in purchasing more time, but with a different company.

When asked where they preferred to buy their next timeshare, perennial favorites ranked high – beaches and attractions/entertainment. The chart below details 11 types of resort locations and the proportion of experienced owners who selected them as their preferred future timeshare location.
