Timeshare Datashare: Average Timeshare Owner/Guest Vacation Spending
Remains Stable
Provided by: ARDA International Foundation
February 2009
Average spending per traveling party of owners or guests while on
timeshare vacations has remained approximately stable in recent years,
according to the Economic Impact of the Timeshare Industry on the U.S.
Economy: 2008 Edition, recently released by the ARDA International
Foundation. The proportion of spending that occurs onsite at timeshare
resorts increased, with an annualized rate of 12% from 2002 to
2007— potentially the result of the increased prevalence of larger
resort campus with wider offerings of on-site amenities. At the
same time, increased expenditures on off-site transportation, primarily
due to increased airfare expenditures, offset an apparent decrease in
shopping off-site.
To estimate the typical amount spent per trip by timeshare owners and
their guests (referred to collectively as the traveling party or visitor
party), AIF sponsored an on-line survey of timeshare owners.
Respondents were asked to answer several questions pertaining to their
most recent timeshare vacation in the United States, indicating the
state they had traveled to, the number of people in their traveling
party, the number of nights they vacationed, and the amounts they had
spent in various expenditure categories.
