Timeshare Owners Outpace Average U.S. Leisure Travelers in Fall Travel Bookings
Nearly one-third of U.S. timeshare owners will use their timeshare property this fall
Washington, D.C. (Sept. 15, 2025) — A recent Vacation Ownership Sentiment Index from ARDA, the trade association for the vacation ownership and timeshare industries, shows that timeshare owners are keeping America’s vacation spirit alive beyond the busy summer travel season.
While 70% of U.S. travelers plan to take a trip this fall, 86% of timeshare owners have travel on the books — and nearly one-third will use their timeshare property during that time.
Timeshare owners are also traveling smarter. Over a third (35%) say fall trips provide greater value by maximizing the use of their points, demonstrating the flexible nature of timeshare today.
“Our data shows that timeshare owners not only find value in traveling at popular times like summer or the holidays, but at any time of year,” said ARDA President & CEO Jason Gamel. “As summer comes to an end, we’re seeing the flexibility that timeshare ownership provides lead to consistent bookings from owners well past peak travel months.”
Looking ahead, this momentum is predicted to continue through the end of the year. According to the Vacation Ownership Sentiment Index, timeshare owners are 50% more likely than other leisure travelers to have already booked their next trip, and 55% more likely to spend significantly more time on vacation over the next six months.
