Timeshare Datashare: Inventory Ownership

Provided by ARDA International Foundation

According to a newly released AIF report, various entities own inventory at HOA-controlled timeshare resorts in the United States. Less than two-thirds of the resorts responding to the question indicated that timeshare clubs own inventory at their resorts. Thirty-eight resorts (or 34%) indicated that rescue, relief, or “postcard”-type companies own inventory at their resorts. Most of these resorts reported that less than 20 rescue, relief, or postcard companies hold inventory. Only nine resorts indicated that travel clubs own inventory at their resorts.

Titled A Survey of HOA Controlled Timeshare Resorts in the United States: 2011 Edition, the report is based on a study conducted by a research team from three universities: New Mexico State University, Oklahoma State University, and Florida International University. This study’s goal was to measure the effect of the latest economic recession on the older resorts that are controlled by the HOAs.
